Another problem with  shortened URLs is that where regular URLs might be 
thought of as a sparse address space (though /very/ non-uniform) 
shortened URLs are  very dense address spaces. Try one that is real, 
then increment and see what you get. Some juicy stuff is stashed in there.

-kb, the Kent who actually did some let's-explore-the-space playing 
years before he (last week-ish) saw--and appreciated--the story on the 
security risk there.
