2/52 Screw loose

Week 2 of my “post a picture a week for a year” project and already we have proof I have a screw loose.

URL shortening is a great idea for Twitter’s 120 character limit but it does have its problems. Most annoying, you find an interesting link and click on it and get presented with the screen above. There is nothing you can do to get to the article you clicked on until the server load goes down.

Other problems include you don’t know what site you will end up on so can end up on a phishing site or something NSFW, although TinyURLs preview option kind of helps that problem.

First shot in my one a week project, should be a bit easier than the one a day challenge?
