TinyURL: I win!

Published 9/12/08

I use TinyURL all the time to shorten annoying Web addresses. The result is usually something like http://tinyul.com/17a345q1.

Today I popped in a YouTube address for a video from the California Association of Realtors. What URL did I get?

http://tinyurl.com/0

Whoa.

CORRECTION: Looks like it was a glitch in the TinyURL system. It doesn’t actually work. :(
