It's really hard to stomach tr.im's gushing benevolence in creating a new, community owned and operated URL shortener being that they only arrived at this model by failing to secure venture capital (and by freaking out their massive user-base with such PR blunders as last week's "tr.im R.I.P." and " tr.im to December 31, 2009" blog posts!). Eric, please stop soap-boxing poetic about the "walled garden" and relinquish control so those still using tr.im can all get on with their business.
