You Don't Need Bit.ly, Tr.im & Co.: Just Host Your Own URL Shortener
useful and important

In return, however, you do get full control over your short links. If you already have a reasonably short domain name or you are able to register one that works for you, installing these services is easy enough and you won't have to worry about a third-party service going out of business and taking your links down with it.

if so much can be done by twitter in terms of alerts and information logistics, how much could be done by something like Mine! that is predicated on ability to control streams of data
How to fix URL-shorteners (Scripting News)
adjix solved the problem of user-owned domains. that would be cool

1. URL-shorteners are bad for the Internet. They centralize linking, and make it more fragile, and more controllable. Wait till the Chinese govt finds out about them.
2. When bit.ly breaks, it will be an outage that may be bigger than Twitter going down. Not only do we lose the present, but we lose the past too. One big URL shortener that dominates the others is itself a dangerous thing.

1. CNAMEs. It must be possible for the user to own and control the domain his or her URLs live at. Technically, this means I register the domain name, and map a sub-domain to the URL-shortener site with a CNAME record. Anyone who knows how to use Godaddy can do it. I would be happy to write a howto that explains.
2. Shared data. The URL-shortener and the user share a space where the data is stored. Joe Moreno at Adjix, who I have been working with, has figured out how to do it on Amazon S3. I have mapped a domain to an S3 bucket, and given his software permission to write to that bucket. Here's the key point. At any time I can revoke the permission and my URLs still work. Or Adjix could disappear, and the shortened URLs would still work. With this method the only way there is linkrot is if S3 goes down.
