Short, obfsucated, urls may direct you places you don't want to go, but I fail to see how that concern applies to HWN: since each url is accompanied by a description of its content, that seems to obviate the need to see the actual url. In most cases, the text also indicates the domain that you will visit, so you can avoid supporting stackoverflow with page impressions if you wish (for example).
It is also possible to borrow half of Slashdot's system and write something like http://goo.gl/G081Q [article.gmane.org] Is that a good compromise? Cheers, -- Felipe.
