WordPress launches wp.me

Another day, another URL shortener. Only this one I think will be around a lot longer than many that are out there.

That’s because it’s supported by WordPress.

It’s also the world’s first two-letter Montenegro (.me) domain.

Even though I use Bit.ly on Twitter, I still have concerns about what would happen if Libya clamped down on its ccTLD (link).

The only bummer about wp.me: You have to host a blog on WordPress to take advantage of it.

PS: I’ve created a new post dedicated to the ever-growing list of “countryless ccTDLs.”
