Blast from the past! BTW, you can safely shorten News.com urls by deleting the title that's included as part of the path. So the link you had: http://news.com.com/Apples+iPod+spurs+mixed+reactions/2100-1040_3-274821 .html?tag=nl can be shortened to this: http://news.com.com/2100-1040_3-274821.html?tag=nl So that way you don't need to bother with getting a TinyUrl version. News.com and a few of our other sites put the article name in the path to help boost Google scores (when you search for a keyword in Google, if that word appears in the actual url it can boost slightly the relevance of the page). But physically our proxy server does not require that, it can return the correct page just from the filename at the end. --- Rex.
