Sure. Say you post a URL like:
http://www.somedomain.com/directory1/directory2/
somefilenameindicator.php
If I don't recognize the domain, I have the option of starting at
http://www.somedomain.com
to see what the site appears to be. Then I can make a decision as to
whether I proceed or not. I can also do a search for domain details,
find out where it's located, who the admin and technical contacts are,
etc.
Y'know... information. Metadata.
A tinyurl tells me jacksh*t about where I'm about to go, so I won't go
there. "I'll give you some candy if you'll get in the car and go for a
ride with me, little girl..."
Why is that so difficult to understand?
The ridiculously long URLs generated by many PHP/mySQL solutions are
making this sort of
redirection a necessity.
Nonsense. Long URLs are trivial to deal with. Why, I bet you could even
write a script to do it!
