It’s getting harder and harder to trick people on the internet. Luckily, new technology makes anything possible! Consider the Rickroll, a delightful prank with a dozen variations. Unfortunately, people have caught on that suspicious YouTube links probably mean they’ll be hearing Rick Astley sing about his unwillingness to give you up.
Did that spell death for the meme? No! With TinyURL, we can keep Rickrolling alive forever, or at least until people get suspicious of TinyURL. So, are there any other potential uses for the service? Uhm… yeah, I can’t think of any either.
