hmm that makes sense. Though it wouldn't be crazy to destroy old BAD data, say if the record has had a zero translation count over a long period of time, or if the target URL now throws a 404 error.
Reusing any combination at all, even if it throws out a 404 error, could result in links on old pages going to completely different sites than they originally did. That seems like it'd be best avoided.
yes, that is similar to Jay's idea, but even simpler. Adding another digit to the table would multiply the possible number of entries by 62. And hearing it now, I am certain that is google's plan. Prossibly the only reason that goo.gl uses five characters now is because it already filled up the four character combination table.
But yeah, every character is precious to the retards who desperately try to cram fucking doctoral theses into 140 character tweets.
