i've got to agree with the other comments.... there's nothing impressive about url shortening. the idea behind it is incredibly simple -- nowhere near impressive. sites like this h…

I've always been of the belief that humans are incredibly complex, deterministic machines. It would be fascinating to see some people make some breakthroughs in understanding the i…
