TinyURL a nuisance?

March 30th, 2008 | by Jevgeni Kabanov |

Although TinyURL is mostly useful it also has one very annoying minus. Indexing services like Google or Technocrati cannot resolve links through it, therefore all those links go unaccounted (or at least you can’t find them anyhow). Add to this that popular services like Twitter will automatically route the links through TinyURL and it’s a right nuisance. Can’t such services come up with a way for Google to track them?
