With the (near) shuttering of tr.im (a popular shortening service) many are starting to recommend creating a service on your own domain. It could be a pretty simple way to create marketing friendly URLs for your site as well. http://www.sitepoint.com/blogs/2009/08/18/host-your-own-short-urls/ I’ve seen a bunch of posts on other blogs recently about rolling your own URL shortener.
