Blog software that includes the headline in the url ruins things. I don't know why, but if I show someone a link and it has the dumb headline in there, it somehow spoilers the story even when it's not a story one would expect to be spoiled.

Am I crazy, or is the whole-story-in-url just a bad thing? Especially with photos.

Description-of-photo-in-URL has completely ruined sharing icanhascheezburger photos on IRC.

It works fine for informative blog posts, though, and I love this URL shortener.

(And of course all SEO is sympathetic magic.)
