This was likely out of response to the spammers who enjoy <br>'Rick Rolling' people.</p><p>But when you consider where you come across TinyURLs, its generally <br>from people you trust or consent to (i.e. through Twitter) - so I'm <br>fairly sure its still just as regulated :-)</p>CannonGodSun, 22 Jun 2008 20:15:04 -0000http://cannongod.tumblr.com/post/39405711#comment-725688<p>An interesting idea, but from a spammer's perspective isn't that like multiple pop-ups? I know I'll sound a bit Nielsen here, but making multiple links does at least put the option with the user. But with more integration happening between sites it does sound like a sensible suggestion.</p>alunSun, 22 Jun 2008 13:46:55 -0000
