/key
Check the URL for any page or post on this here site.
All super short, most just a single word.
Like eg. cabgfx.com/slashes (bit on the nose there, yes.)
Short links were always in fashion, of course, but my reasons are two-fold:
1. Memo: The core idea/resource at this URI should boil down to a single word, allowing for ultra-short phrases.
2. Inspo: I took it to heart, the very first time I noticed it on Derek Sivers’ blog, sivers.org: Anytime—every time!—he has something to share, the URL is always so smooth; like eg. sive.rs/pnt. Cool.
Check the refs below, too.
