Dannyman has run a service called lnk.to , which is similar to things like Make A Shorter Link. lnk.to obviously wins by having a shorter name to begin with.
He’s been doing some brainstorming for featues.
Here’s my quick idea: Make it easy to mirror.
One of the reason’s Danny is going for his reimplementation is that lnk.to’s current home is going away. Also, its current home has not always been the paragon of stability. Adding mirroring capability early on would help avoid that problem in the future.
Anyway, just an idea. (Also, my first use of TrackBack!)
’tis a good idea.
The current lnk.to is already mirrorable via RSS, if your ambitions are modest.
But with the move to a SQL back-end, mirroring, or even clustering, might be a possibility.
And we could try this ping-back style technology as a mirroring method as well.
Hrmmm.
I need to crank out Phase 0 tonight …
