bit.ly lasts longer than tr.im

In the world of URL shortening, Twitter basically used bit.ly
and therefore a competitor tr.im could no longer compete,
because like most of us, they needed money to operate.

ARTICLE WHERE TR.IM FOLKS SOUND WHINY

Now some around blame the Denial of Service Attacks for
putting tr.im under and not able to get back up, but others
blame Jetblue and its darn promotions.

Sir Twitalot does not know, but I do know that if you
used tr.im links you may want to re-shorten them puppies.
