What are its disadvantages?
You do not know what it leads you to, for one thing.
in fact if you want to show off that you know how to make a url
shortened link, the best practice is to put the full link first and then
add the shortened link below.
Also the shortened URLs are susceptible to link rot. Imagine after a
couple of years some one searches for something in the mailing list
archive and finds a short URL which is broken because the service that
provided the shortening service has shortened down, though the actual
target URL might still exist.
Thanks & Regards,
