Standalone URI shorteners work fine when you want to shorten mostly foreign URIs, but that’s a crappy approach when you want to submit your own stuff to social media. Because you throw away the ability to totally control your traffic from social media, and search engine traffic generated by social media as well.

When Twitter first became popular with niche crowds in 2007 it seemed to take hold initially with bloggers. I have started blogging again having taken a hiatus since 2007 (actually, I was initially embargoed by Salesforce.com who didn’t want me blogging after they acquired my company). So what gives?

SXSW is where Twitter broke out in 2007. And ever since then every year we are subjected to the tech press corps writing the annual, “What will the hot company at SXSW be?” Because to write stories every journalist needs an “angle” meaning a storyline or narrative that they form their story around.
