However YouTube does something similar with their short URL using the .be or Belgium domain. That works. Maybe the crew at Yahoo have it on the list but haven't gotten to it yet. I need to snoop around and find out how many folks are in the NEO group. I used to joke that Android seemed to be a 200 monkeys project then someone I know who worked there told me there were only 100 in the group. Maybe that's why Android always seems half done.

The short URL requires a redirect from a different web site which is how those short URLs work, so your content is not on the site the link points to, whereas my link was direct. The ISO kr country code is South Korea, so your image is on Flickr but the short URL first goes to a South Korean web address which then hands it over to Flickr. The South Korean domain name is not necessarily in South Korea, it could be anywhere, it seems to be owned by a company called markmonitor.com <https://www.markmonitor.com/> which is part of Thomson Reuters: About Us | Thomson Reuters <http://thomsonreuters.com/about-us/>. So perhaps a question to ask is what does Thomson Reuters get out of the information generated by people linking via short URLs.

Looks like the long URL works on groups whereas the short one doesn't. And Flickr is a Yahoo thing.

    we are doing a better job of this than Jim over on The Peak.
