I’m going to be working on a new project here in the next few months and I’d like to start collecting some data to support decisions I need to make. Could you please take a few seconds and let me know which short URL service you prefer? It would help me out a lot. Thanks!
dude, i went to that link, there is no place to vote!!!
FAIL 
if you care, my favorite url-shortening service is NONE OF THEM
url shortening is evil and will lead to broken links all over da place
just say no – don’t shorten your urls
instead, link to permanent, original urls

For me the favorite URL Shortener is Google URL Shortener.
I reckon rudy.ca would make a good URL shortener.
yeah, i’ve thought about it, but i can’t see what good it would do me to have other people’s urls in my database
what would i get out of it? and would it be enough to get me to change my mind about url shorteners being evil?
here’s another service, and their “ethics” page – http://v.gd/ethics.php
Sorry to all the people who tried to vote. It appears that polling service closed the poll without telling me. I’ve created a new poll with SurveyMonkey. If you’d take a minute to vote it would help me out.
