@CS: Unfortunately it helps little that it is a valid URL if popular browsers such as Firefox fail to interpret it correctly. That’s like sticking to CSS/XHTML standards and ignoring that various browsers have their own version of the standard.

The URL shortener with the shortest URL is http://to./ (yes, that is a completely valid URL)

Adam, it’s just that little word ‘yet’ making it sound like it was the first ;) Plus, I like to give domainers credit when it’s due!

Yes, x.bb is one of the oldest if not the oldest, shortest URL shortener out there. ;^)

i remember seeing on the tech blogs that bit.ly bought j.mp and you can use j.mp instead of bit.ly if you need a shorter url. i’m sure there are many others out there just as short. n.pr is the perfect one for them though.
