I would not make my references dependent upon a commercial service. (It's fine 
for Twitter in the short term, but what happens when they go under and now all 
those URLs point to porn?) However, institutions should give thought to their 
URI architecture, including stability, terseness, etc. The ACM provides a 
relatively short URL for everything it publishes, and there are other DOI 
services.
