Agreed. And Bing is NOT the first company to donate $1 for every retweet. Whoever complained about it was late to the Twitter game. - Tamar Weinberg

This was an evil thing to get into Google Reader. The post was 115k so I had to edit it a zillion times for brevity. Thank you for killing 36 hours of my time, Google, but to everyone else, ENJOY!!!!!!!!! - Tamar Weinberg

"Nice idea - I think that will definitely eliminate guesswork. I actually really like TinyURL Decoder for Greasemonkey; it works really well on all sites if you specify * as the URL. I've never gotten it to work properly on Chrome though, and Facebook adds facebook.com before any URL so it probably would not function properly there either. Still, that doesn't fully address the concern about clicking on a link through email, but it's a step in the right direction." - Tamar Weinberg

"Facebook truncates most URLs, so a 250+ character URL is not so noticeable with Facebook's thumbnail format. Plus, if the message is sent via Facebook Messages, it might get sent to one's email, and trusting the originating sender, he might not be compelled to look at the preview and might just click on this (malicious?) link. It's tricky. It probably happened thousands of times which is why this happened to begin with. (As for branded URLs, I have no problem with that -- see my reply to Robin below.) I don't think this has anything to do with innovation at all and think that's more of a comparison to apples and oranges." - Tamar Weinberg

"Good point, but can Facebook users actually create fb.me URLs? I think if created by the end user, there's a chance it could be abused, which likely explains why this happened to begin with. Using a URL like fb.me/techcrunch isn't exactly misleading in comparison. I have NO problem with trustworthy sites leveraging URL shortening tools (gdg.to, fb.me on bit.ly, etc.). I've always worried that a generic bit.ly or j.mp URL doesn't necessarily spell out intention, and people can click on a malicious URL as a result. It happens everyday and the problem is pretty rampant. I figure that most of these shortened URLs are intended mostly for Twitter and not for your average publication or tool." - Tamar Weinberg

"I don't understand why people in the comments are faulting Facebook for this. Shortened URLs only have their place on Twitter where brevity is a requirement. Facebook doesn't exactly restrict you to 140 characters. Shortened URLs are nice for statistics, but to end users, they are horrible -- and I personally don't click on them. Not everyone knows what they're clicking on, and the URLs *could* be malicious. Personally, I hope Facebook bans all shortened URLs and that other sites do the same. The only place shortened URLs belong is on Twitter." - Tamar Weinberg

"Check each individual listing. The headquarters might be in a specific location (required by the system) but some jobs do allow telecommuting." - Tamar Weinberg

"We're definitely encouraging UK-based employers to post their jobs on Mashable. If you know any, send them here :)" - Tamar Weinberg

RIP. Really a bummer if Yahoo does this stupid move. - Tamar Weinberg

"I totally agree, Jay. My fear mostly is that it's obvious that it can be gamed in another way -- noise. If you tweet more, your Klout goes up. Or so it seems." - Tamar Weinberg
