But it’s easy to type random TinyURLs, since they are made up of random numbers and letters. I stumbled upon this recently when talking to a friend about TinyURL over IM, and typed an example. Just out of curiosity I clicked the resultant link to discover that the University of Greenwich is looking for an offshore hydrocarbon mapping engineer. http://tinyurl.com/376453

Who knew?

So I started typing in some more random TinyURLs and here’s what I found…

I could go on and on (since I don’t have a job,) and TinyURLs are practically guaranteed to be good since it wouldn’t be a TinyURL unless it was awesome enough for someone to share it.

If you find anything interesting, post it to the comments.
