Top 10 dead websites IV



Tr.im: Soon after Twitter anointed Bit.ly as the default URL shortening service, tr.im announced that it is shutting down its service, only to be followed by a resurrection a few days later. Then there was some buzz about bit.ly offering to buy out tr.im and also tr.im going open source. And now the tr.im website says "tr.im is a totally pointless service" and puts the blame on abuse by spammers.

ti.im has also put up a list of alternative URL shortening services, that, interestingly, doesn't include bit.ly.
