Human flying squirrels and tinyURL

So tinyurl was busted yesterday? That explains why I had such trouble sharing a link to the “human flying squirrels” video via twitter.

I first found the link on Doc Searls blog. In the end, in the absence of the ability to post a working link via twitter (cos of the problem with tinyurl) I had to resort to actually describing how people could find their way via Doc’s post.  It was weird to have to do that. On the internet.

And it was weird to have to do that to link to a blog post by Doc Searl’s of all people. A odd kind of circular weirdness because Doc has been a key figure in helping the world really understand how all the really cool and powerful properties of the internet emerge from the simple architecture made possible by linking.

Searls and Weiberger: “World of Ends: What the Internet Is and How to Stop Mistaking It for Something Else If you haven’t read this before or its been a while… this is a classic piece worth returning to again and again.
