A short lived scare

J-walk uses the tr.im API to create short URLs on the fly. (An API is a way for websites to easily talk to each other.) Last Sunday, tr.im announced they were shutting their doors, which would have meant changing some of the underlying j-walk code.
This is, in itself, not too much of an issue. What's worse is that already published short URLs would have stood the chance of no longer working.

Luckily, the global response to tr.im's demise was overwhelming enough for those behind tr.im, nambu, to reconsider. Tr.im will stay online. Yeah!
