any idea why short URL services fail very often?
Mozilla shows a "Problem loading page" error page:
Server not found. Firefox can't find the server at www.t.co.
This is especially true for t.co for example.
If I refresh continuously over a large period of time, it will eventually redirect.
t.co is run by Twitter and like twitter.com itself it suffers from overloading. The same could apply to other popular services.
