I'm an IT professional/FOSS Geek living and working in New Delhi, India. Currently for the most part I work as a Technical Consultant developing Open Source ICT solutions for social and societal inclusion. I am a a FOSS enthusiast, I want to create an awareness about FOSS through the work I do. Below are the latest updates from a some social networks I subscribe to.
Bing Gets Its Own (Not So Short) URL Shortener (FAIL)!!!
Looks like Microsoft is also about to start a URL Shortening service…Its called Binged.it
Binged.it is not yet public and is currently available only for internal use… Bing’s employee @fareologist has been using binged.it to shorten URLs when tweeting…
I don’t see Binged.it gaining much traction… As compared to other URL Shortener its basically too long… Google’s shortener, goo.gl, is 5 characters. Facebook’s is 4 characters. Bing’s is 8 characters… Dunno why Microsoft decided to use a name which is longer than its original domain name (Bing.com)…
Now i feel its rightly said that sometimes Microsoft’s stupidity can reach AWESOME heights…
