This seems interesting:

tr.im will offer all link-map data associated with tr.im URLs to anyone that wants it in real-time. This will involve a variety of time-based snapshots of aggregated destination URLs, the number of tr.im URLs created for any given destination URL, and aggregate click data. ... tr.im will begin publishing all statistics and information related to it usage. Its operating cash flow, redirects, URL creation counts — everything — so that the community can have confidence it is on solid footing.

I wonder what business models might be affected if this becomes popular...




Seems that bit.ly has a fair bit to lose given that similar data to what they're claiming is so valuable is now going to be open to anyone.

Wouldn't want to be a bit.ly investor today. Well, I wouldn't want to be a short url investor any day :)
