I can't tell if the shortness of the article is intentional or an (amusing) mistake.

Yeah, there's short and short!

Me neither. I'm of the opinion however that neither Google nor Facebook have considered TinyURL, or they don't see it as being of any consequence (though strictly speaking, it is).

What is going on today with the missing articles?

Did someone fall asleep at their Keyboard or what?

As to shortened Urls, that would be a bad idea as Google gets hit way too often with Search Engine poisoning as it is. With shortened Urls, Google will become too dangerous to even use as you'll be playing Russian Roulette every time you use Google.

Working on it, guys. Sorry about this.

When I think of Tiny Tim I think of The Muppets' Christmas Carol and that's not pathetic at all, unless you mean "pathetic" as in weak, starving, whatever

 

[JMcEntegart]

Sorry, guys. We had problems with our system this morning and my posts got caught in the crossfire, I guess. Should be all fixed now. Thanks for your patience.

Brevity is the soul of wit. Why waste my time by bloviating articles that say a lot of nothing. Make your point and move on. I personaly like it.
