Networks has announced that it will shutter its Tr.im URL shortening service, after
finding zero interest from potential buyers, the company said in a blog post.
"Tr.im has thousands and thousands of users, creating tens of thousands of URLs per day. But, we were a little surprised to learn, *no one* wanted to take it over," the company wrote. "We quietly contacted a number of people within the Twitter development world, and nobody wanted it in exchange a token amount of money. No one perceived any value in it, or they wanted to operate a shortener under a differently branded domain name." Links shortened using Tr.im will continue to redirect until at least Dec. 31, 2009.
