Google breaking the web

Google is turning off its URL shortener and breaking every link that ever used it
I have no idea the extent of this, but I'd venture that the number of links out in the wild that will break as a result of this tallies in the millions. It's just cost-cutting/profit-maxing/entropy, I suppose. But there's a lesson about using third party services here.
