More data rot. I wonder how many millions of links are about to disappear.
I really hope nobody used shortened links in href attributes. That would be stupid.
oh, god! quick! somebody contact boeing!
I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s some service that gave out shortened links by default and people just used those everywhere. Lots of people are clueless about how URLs work, and authoring HTML often means filling in a form.

What, like, DreamWeaver style? Sounds cray-cray to me (as a web developer).
I’m thinking more like using a CMS or Wordpress by people who don’t consider themselves developers.
Ah, right. Yeah…

I skim this page every time it is posted, but this time scrolling the whole length of it even as fast as I can gave me depression. 295 projects, almost half of them killed in the last 5 years.
I don’t think any other company is based on trial and error to the same degree as Google.
It’s kind of funny, since Google was originally based on hiring the greatest capacities within their field. So you should think they were pretty smart.
But trial and error is actually the LEAST INTELLIGENT method to solve a problem.
So goo.le no longer work ?
They have one? I just use tinyurl.
