Ok. I'll open a bugreport with all broken URLs.<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks for finding these Christian!<br>
<br>
I do agree the maintenance is a bit tougher with shortened... we wanted<br>
to try it for readability and I think it works nicely. But we learn as<br>
we go.<br>
<br>
If anyone has great ideas for grouping those shortened URLs or otherwise<br>
making something cool with them, I'd love to get more mileage out of those.<br>

A beverage of your choice if you can find a way to update a link target<br>
in <a href="http://bit.ly" target="_blank">bit.ly</a> - I couldn't find how to do it yesterday.<br>

If <a href="http://bit.ly" target="_blank">bit.ly</a> URLs can't be updated, we should remove them as per Christian's plan, and also submit errata to the OReilly book page.<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br>
