readwriteweb.com — The link shortening and redirection service TinyURL went down apparently for hours last night, rendering countless links broken across the web. Complaints have been particularly loud on Twitter, where long links are automatically turned to TinyURLs and complaining is easy to do, but the service is widely used in emails and web pages as well.

Google should buy it. Or at least, make their own version. TinyURL is so simple and obvious, it's genius.
