Short URLs are a bit of a hot-button topic amongst devs - some think they're useful (like Russell), some are wary of them (like me) and some, like my friend Simon, rail against them as a waste of time and resource.
Simon, however, is a sensible sort so rather than just making lots of noise about how they suck, he's gone away and tried to think of a sensible use case, then implemented it.
So take a look over at Wag.gd if you're interested in mobile development. Simon's written about it far better than I could and it's certainly an interesting idea.
