True - but that is just a clever UI to a search engine.

And for any 'clever' URL scheme you can think of for indexing content I can
guarantee that TMTOWTDI - and if I use *my* way to make up the URL and not your
way then I'm toast....

You want an 8am train from Cardiff to Birmingham?

   http://www.traintimes.org.uk/8:00/cardiff/birmingham

The requested URL /8:00/cardiff/birmingham was not found on this server.

<sigh> people are so complicated...

TinyURL is clever - it's small and easy to *transcribe*.
