I'm not certain if that was sarcasm or not. I find the url-shortening

amazon urls can get very long) supplying a shortened url will prevent
problems with line wrapping.
However, the problem I have with services like tinyurl is that they
*expire*.

So, I have to include the long link *anyhow*.

The website claims that they don't expire: http://tinyurl.com/

Have you experienced or heard otherwise?

I could have sworn that I have seen several tinyurl links fail while the long link still works. Normally I bump into this in forums.

I'll pay more attention next time and see if it is a broken redirect or something.
