Or is there a reason they don't want to register in the US? Every country domain is 2 letters. What is the big problem so many people have following rules? I hate it when web sites use top-level domains improperly. That practice should be banned. Used properly, TLDs can help you narrow down a search. Of course what do you expect from a web site that is nothing more than one big 3rd party cookie? Why don’t they just use “.us”? Or is there a reason they don’t want to register in the US?

Twitter had just anointed bit.ly the default shortener for their service, which pretty much shut out the other competitors. This was a shame, because the competition was fierce and in consumers’ best interest. There’s also the issue of bit.ly being linked to Libya, which is risky at best (though bit.ly is apparently moving to j.mp). [...] [...] Last September Tr.im threw in the towel.
