Sorry about the long Google links. But don't know of a better way to

One problem. The Google archives may last for centuries, if not longer.
Will
tinyurl.com or makeashorterlink.com last as long? I recommend using
both,
just in case these services go under.

TinyURL claims that they are permanent.

So they say, but what will happen to their database if/when they go
bankrupt? Their income seems to be coming from advertising links on thier
web site. What happens when the next Internet depression hits?
