You may have noticed that we’re starting to use the Tell.im service in some of our links, including in this post.
What is Tell.im?
It is a URL shortening service, similar to many of the others floating around that help to take a very long URL and dramatically chop-it-down-to-a-shorter-length (hopefully). This will make some of our outbound links more uniform and reasonably shorter, so they are ready-to-digest by other services like Twitter. When you activate a Tell.im link, you are redirected by Tell.im to the real destination, whatever that may be.
Admittedly, this may make trackbacks and pingbacks toward Javamancy and other blogs unsightly or unavailable, depending on the other systems’ ability to follow and manage transitive linking.
N.B.
