If you care about your short URLs, then tinyurl and snipurl have proven that they can weather storms. Tinyurl is a one-feature gimmick and doesn’t allow the functionality that snipurl does, so if you truly want to hold on to short urls and manage them, track them, share them, then snipurl is the way to go. I was trying tr.im for a while until snipurl launched their “http://sn.im” variation. Short enough, with loads of features and a nice interface.
