All your hard work can be lost in translation
If you have just finished a nice piece of food writing, you want to tell the world about it. It is only natural. As food writing is not usually breaking news or the object of a press release, one of the best ways is to announce your work on your favorite social media sites, and post a link to where it can be found.
Using shortening URL services is great, but what happens when the service finishes? Probably, all your work is lost.And when these services are free there is no guarantee they will be there forever. These services can disappear the minute the providers think it is not good business for them.
The same can be said about commercial services. If you stop your subscription, there is no guarantee that the information you posted and the links you built will take people back to your website.
We have used a couple of free services and a copule of commercial ones to port automatically to social media networks. It was a time saving choice at the time, but bad business in the long run.
