Urlteam
url shortening was a fucking awful idea
url shortening was a fucking awful idea
URL http://urlte.am
Status Online!
Archiving status In progress...
Archiving type Unknown
Project source Old: urlteam-stuff tinyback tinyarchive

New: terroroftinytown-client-grab terroroftinytown

Project tracker http://tracker.archiveteam.org:1337/ (HTTPS)
IRC channel #urlteam (on hackint)

TinyURL, bit.ly and other similar services allow long URLs to be converted to smaller ones on their specific service; the small URL is visited by a consumer and their web browser is redirected to the long URL.

Such services are a ticking timebomb. If they go away, get hacked or sell out millions of links will be lost (see Wikipedia: Link Rot). Archive.org/301Works is acting as an escrow for URL shortener databases, but they rely on URL shorteners to actually give them their databases. Even 301Works founding member bit.ly does not actually share their databases and most other big shorteners don't share theirs either.

301Work cooperation

301works logo.jpg

The fine folks at archive.org have provided us with upload permissions to the 301Works archive: http://www.archive.org/details/301utm. They unfortunately do not want to make them downloadable, but the same data is in our torrents too, just in a different format (we use pipe-delimited, xz-compressed files while 301works uses comma-delimited uncompressed files).

Tools

Terror of Tiny Town

The easiest way to help with scraping is to run the Warrior and select the URLTeam 2 project. You can also run ToTT outside the warrior; to do so, follow the instructions at https://github.com/ArchiveTeam/terroroftinytown-client-grab.

URL shorteners

New table

The new table includes shorteners we have already started to scrape.
