<![CDATA[I was wondering about this myself. This means that they have to store all of these in a database ( 62 Million plus ) and that database and that website had better be up ALL the time or a significant small portion of the web becomes inaccessible.<br /><br />Perhaps, and or unless they are using Google's web service ( which almost can't go down ), one needs to be careful of the possible risk in putting critical company business or commercial affiliate links on tinyurl.com<br />]]>

<![CDATA[I wonder how tinyurl handles the possibility of two people using the same custom alias?  Granted, the probability of this happening is probably rare, does it simply associate the custom alias(es) with their randomly generated tinyurl(s), much like a symbolic link?]]>

<![CDATA[confuscated: The tinyurl site checks if your custom alias is already in use and if so, offers you a random one or the option to try again. For example, I failed to create http://tinyurl.com/greenscool (taken) but http://tinyurl.com/TheAustralianLies wasn't.<br /><br />If you know anything about Australian Politics, you'll see the funny side of this ...]]>

<![CDATA[I find it weird, though, that you can type in a random tinyurl and still hit a site pretty much every time.  For example, do you think tinyurl generated "tinyurl/asshat" for someone?<br /><br />Because you hit a site with it.  Seems strange.]]>
