Recently, Ive noticed that a lot of tweeters (including myself...) have been using their own URL shortening services (other than bit.ly, is.gd .etc .etc).
The thing is, a lot of these tweeters (such as techcrunch) use TLDs that do not correspond to the country their in. For example techcrunch uses tcrn.ch, and the last time I checked, they are NOT based in switzerland. Im planning on buying one of those thingies myself (dolp.au), and im wondering if registering these domains just to make the shortened url look nice is is really right/ethical.
