URL-Shortening Service tr.im To Shut Down

[URLs will continue to function until 31 December 2009 and will then go dead][link]. Yet another reason to use a self-hosted short URL service with a system like my own [la petite url][la].

*Update:* [tr.im has reversed it’s decision to shut down][reverse].

Imeem Is Deleting All Uploaded User Video and Images

[With a week’s notice, and no way to back everything up][link]. This is just unacceptable. You don’t do this kind of thing to your users. You could pay one of your engineers spend a day building an export tool, which in the long run costs you nothing, and buys you immense social capital. When a service is already taking away functionality (users hate this) why make it worse?
