Great post. Loved the Pepsi/Coke video…it’s incredible how such FMCG brands (have to) keep reinventing their look and so on. A drink is a drink is a drink…but not quite huh.

As for URL shortners, tr.im etc will come and go. It’s important to have something more stable, so I just work with snipurl.com since 2001. They’ve been around and weathered several storms, and their interface is the most pleasing.

No worries at all, Zach, Vic. Twitter isn’t for everyone.

I hear you, Stefan.

Mark, thanks for the update. That’s a shame, but I suppose it’s a slight positive to note that those behind tr.im see bit.ly as the market leader. I would’ve thought tinyurl was up there, although it does need quite a few more characters than its competitor.

Have a look at tr.im – they’re discontinuing the service, so your shortened links (like mine) will probably not redirect properly when we enter 2010.

Best tip: Write your own shortener, then you know whose fault it is when it doesn’t work…
