I am working on a new project for a site and I would like to implement short urls. Historically I have used GUIDs as table ids so that replication is not an issue. So, now I'm looking at creating a short url for these values, the thing is a shortened guid is not that short (vs a shortened Int) Before getting too far down a path, I thought I'd ask if anyone had any thoughts.
Again...just because Microsoft never managed to be as successful as Google in that business that doesn't mean they are not exactly what Google is. An online advertising company.
Edge's built in ad block in case you don't know whitelists their own advertising platform. According to Microsoft... Google ads and tracking bad, Microsoft ads and tracking good:)
