<p><strong><a href="http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=TinyURL">TinyURL - Archiveteam</a></strong></p> Excellent: the Internet Archive are crawling TinyURL (and hopefully other URL shortening services as well). The wiki page was created back in January. UPDATE from comments: Archiveteam are a separate organisation from the Internet Archive. <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/archive">archive</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/archiveteam">archiveteam</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/internet-archive">internet-archive</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/tinyurl">tinyurl</a></p>
