Subject:Shortened links (was RE The Friday funny) From:"nosnivel -at- netvision -dot- net -dot- il" <nosnivel -at- netvision -dot- net -dot- il> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Mon, 10 Nov 2003 10:53:49 -0500
Unshortened, a link itself often provides a certain
amount of information. If someone sends an e-mail saying
"Hey, look at this" followed by a link to http://www.nytimes.com/2003/11/10/technology/10novell.html ,
we can guess it's something about Novell from the technology
section of the New York Times, 10 Nov 2003. If someone
says "Hey, look at this" and points to a tiny url, we have
a lot less to go on.
Anyone using a tiny url should provide some minimum of
information about where it links to. Is there someone
I can write to in order to request that this point be
registered as a new official netiquette rule? Nemily Post?
