Thanks for the well-reasoned and informative posting. The life of URL shortening companies may be short and often highly competitive lately, but it's great to see someone thinking about - and honestly trying to create, in a fair and open manner - some form of permanence for the ephemera of shortened links.

Good luck with 301works, I hope you can find some other supporters - especially if you can work with a nonprofit, to ensure it's managed fairly for any sizeable shortening database (including competitors). Sounds like you have a good start.

We'd rather you as well as the rest of the Bit.ly community be VOCAL and NOT quiet! That's the only way WE can become a BETTER service. We won't get there if the community remains quiet.

Good work getting the maintenance done early tonight too. And all the numbers look good. Thanks for the quick responses here. I'll be quiet now! :-)

Yes, custom url's has been a big issue of displaying vs not displaying them, and hopefully in a soon to be live release they will be there. We appreciate the patience everyone has had with us as a whole as we grow bigger!

Thanks for that suggestion! :) Hopefully the engineers who do the web design will see this.

Rex,
I went to Suggestions and saw the two threads about custom links (I had written in both of them).

Both of them say only "Under Review" which is what they said months ago.

SO I'm glad you said here they'll be displayed soon!

Thanks, Rex. Good news !

Could you make the Uservoice Suggestions more easily findable on the home page? I looked for it and didn't find it. May have not looked hard enough but it'd be great if something clear was visible. I did find it once and you folks are very responsive, so thanks.

Custom url's are due to be displayed soon. If you read our Uservoice Suggestions forums, you'll probably be more up to date as far as where engineering stands on any of the great suggestions we have received from our Bit.ly community.

tr.im's 4-letter link-sequence 'wFob' indicates they didn't have as many people using the service and never had to go to 5-6 letters as bit.ly and tiny.url have had to.

tr.im custom-url recording sounds good. The one thing I keep missing on yours is the basic ability to see according to my custom name for the url - the English word - which helps me remember what the URL means for my use of it (the header of the original may not have that much meaning).
I have to keep translating between a text file and your report I keep so I can see what your reports mean for my purposes.

It's clear you do a lot of good things since you're tracking everyone using the same basic -news- url, say, but I think most of us are most interested in what's happening when we recommend something and the custom name is extremely important for that. I spend 2 to 3 times the amount of time trying to translate your reports as a result.

xrl.us is one I used that is actually headed by custom url in reports but they don't give as much usage info. I changed to bit.ly because their reports weren't working for me but now they are.

Could you please give us custom-name in reports so that I can stick with you, since you obviously do a lot of good work otherwise? From what I've seen, your click histories match other stats I get from statcounter so that's great. (Just because we share a link doesn't mean people click on it.)

One other request: Smaller fonts and more within a report would be great. Right now the report fonts are huge and there's unnecessary page-turning involved to see more info.

Thanks for what is obviously excellent tracking work.

the support email is simply support@bit.ly . You may simply have a cache problem. Try flushing your cache and reloading the page.

See JimBK's comment above, 4 days ago...

This is not about the post exactlty:

The number of clicks on my links have not been showing up on my bit.ly home page for a week now, but I can get them if I click on Info.

Any ideas?

Seems I'm not the only person having problems.

I haven't changed a thing; but there is no history. I see 'loading' then, nothing more. Unlike JimBK, I don't have the 'info' link available; it's greyed out.

Leave a link for the support e-mail, if you would.

Thanks~!

I like the idea of merge Tr.im and bit.ly

The history reports haven't gone anywhere. Email support if you're running into problems, and we'll take a look.

Thanks!

tinyurl has been around a lot longer than bit.ly. Problem is, tinyurl utilizes a couple more characters than bit.ly, and doesn't provide logging (well, bit.ly's logging is dead now, so...)

Ummm...what's happened to your history reports, guys? They've been missing for over a week.

Less worrying about a possible competitor; it's time to worry about your own barnyard, and the escaping cattle..

Best,

It looks like tr.im is set to continue as an open source service - good!

Also, lots of the comments above seem to assume that URL shortening is only used for Twitter?

Re: 301working
