I must confess that I'd forgotten (so far) to come back and see if there was any followup to my comment. It was only when I saw Jeff Gamet's post over at <a href="http://tinyurl.com/57t8m6" rel="nofollow">TMO</a> that I picked up on this again - so, I'm sorted now. I'd not come across either bit.ly or tr.im before, whereas I am familiar with the long-established TinyURL. That gets it quite a bit of trust in the clicking-an-unfamiliar-link game... :-) @Jean

Thanks for the update. I must confess that I’d forgotten (so far) to come back and see if there was any followup to my comment. It was only when I saw Jeff Gamet’s post over at TMO that I picked up on this again – so, I’m sorted now.

What power I wield! Thanks for this! Not only are tr.im URLs shorter, but the tr.im website offers stats - STATS I SAY! - for how many people click on your tr.im URLs. (*) Who doesn't love stats?!?! (OK, well I took Economic Statistics in college -- BECAUSE I HAD TO! -- and hated it. Dropped out 2 or 3 times before I finally completed the class -- BECAUSE I HAD TO! -- but that is a whole other story.) Many thanks! * (You may have to be logged into the tr.im service for this to work, and I haven't verified that it will work with the TE shortcut, but still! Shorter Is Beautiful!) WOW! What power I wield!

I hadn't used for months and then tried to use it about ten days ago. Nothing. Prompted by this article, I just tried it again and it's still failing to return a URL. Pity...
