There are many places where there are limits (hard or soft) on message lengths. Some of us still use MUDs and 80-character line limits. Business cards or other printed media need to be transcribed by hand. Dictation of URLs becomes virtually impossible when they're arbitrarily long.
Your typical shortened URL made up of a random jumble of letters and numbers isn't good for dictating or transcribing from a business card either. For those uses, a well-chosen semantically-memorable URL is still the best solution. There shouldn't be too much trouble in arranging one of those that's short enough to put on a business card. -- Greg -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
