URLTea dead?
URLTea used to be my favorite URL shortening service. Emphasis on used to be. For (and I’m guessing here) I’d say the better part of a month, every time I have attempted to make a shortened URL or visit the site, it’s been coming up error, 404, you’re looking for what again?
Does anyone know what became of URLtea? Their last post to Twitter was 6 months ago. Their Google code page doesn’t have any news. Alex King seemed to predict its downfall but none of the commenters have anything helpful to add.
URLtea creators and primary supporters! Where have you gone? Will you be bringing the site back?
I liked your tea towel background and your awesome bookmarklet tool. Don’t let me suffer in a sea of plain jane tinyurls!
