Why use a tiny url from tiny.utah.edu?

With the growth of twitter, the use of url shorteners has increased dramatically (e.g. tiny.cc, tinyurl.comm, bit.ly). If you've used these third-party services, you know that they lack credibility and can have serious reliability issues (link rot or server outages). Tiny.utah.edu strives to remedy some of these issues by providing a shortened url that has the credibility and branding of the utah.edu domain as well as the reliability of other University services.

Why are tiny urls useful?

With character limits on tweets and text messages, long urls aren't practical. Tiny urls provide useful tracking statistics
