		<description>[...] 这件事说明了一些专家的预测是多么不靠谱。一直以来，业界对于链接缩短服务的盈利方式与定价手段都没有形成明确的看法，而 TinyURL 也只是靠登载 Google 广告来获得为数不多的收入，这个状态一直持续到了今年三月份，当 Bit.ly 获得了由提姆·奥莱理 (Tim O`Reilly) 领衔的数家著名的风险投资基金提供的二百万美元后，仿佛一种明确的定价手段就呈现了出来。有人假设 Bit.ly 向风投基金们总共出售了百分之二十的股权，因此算出它的融资前价值等于八百万美元 ( 200 万美元 × ( ( 100&#160;- 20 ) ÷ 20 ) ，再根据当时 Bit.ly 和 TinyURL 的市场份额之比（13：75）推算出一个令人瞠目结舌的结果： TinyURL 市值四千六百万美元。恭喜 TinyURL ，你不需要再仰赖 Google 提供的那一丁点广告费过活了，去拥抱财大气粗的风投吧。半年过去了，风投尽数不动，倒是 Tr.im 首先扛不住资金压力而偃旗息鼓了。虽然分析师们赖以为生的就是推测与预见，但是这种分析方法过于草率、过于泛滥，以至于不能揭露问题的所在。有一种关于 Bit.ly 后发制人的说法是，因为它比 TinyURL 多节约了五个字符位，这看起来似乎有些荒谬，但是在寸土寸金的 Twitter 里这样的情况确实存在，因此 Tr.im 受人欢迎也不难理解了，除了接近极限的效能（十八个字符位，在 Twitter 里通过把 「 http:// 」 置换为 「 www 」 能再节省三个字符位）以外，这个词简单好记，并且恰如其分的反映了链接缩短器的功效。但更重要的是， Bit.ly 身上更多的 Web 2.0 特性，它不仅提供了分析与追踪链接的功能，还采用 Reuters Calais 作为语义分析系统来深度挖掘链接背后的内容，而这些功能在页面宛如互联网初创时代风格的 TinyURL 里是找不到的。另外，通过网页访问记录并不能反映真实的流量，因为许多链接缩短器的重度使用者是通过客户端或者浏览器插件来实现这个功能的。Tr.im 在关闭声明中对 Twitter 颇有言辞，虽然 Twitter 设置谁做为默认的链接缩短器是它的自由，但这种算得上是「偏爱」的举动对链接缩短界的影响无疑是巨大的，这等于间接宣布了 Bit.ly 的胜利。在引发了一阵网络上的纪念风潮之后， Bit.ly 也有意通过 301works 项目（一个皆在保存已生成的短地址的服务，来自 Betaworks）来接手 Tr.im 的转发业务，但是这项建议被 Tr.im 的母公司 Nambu 所拒绝，他们更希望把这项业务转售出去，根据一些小道消息的透露， Nambu 的价位在八万至十万美元之间。而另一方面， Nambu 甚至想通过删除旗下两款本地客户端中的 Twitter 模块来向 Twitter 施压。然而事隔一天之后， Nambu 又戏剧性的重启了 Tr.im 的运营。&#160; Nambu 的困境在于， Twitter 已经很清楚的表明了自己的姿态，而 TinyURL 这半年迅速的溃败就是前车之鉴，虽然我并不否认 TinyURL 的运营之道。 Nambu 如果继续投资于开发链接追踪功能，理智上看还是斗不过 Bit.ly 的，所以 Nambu 也只是想尽快卸掉这个包袱，集中精力于客户端的开发吧。这真不是个好信号，至少说明链接缩短服务市场的战国时代已经结束，一个新的王者就此诞生，虽非名至实归，但看上去还算不错。在 Twitter 的一系列并购举动中 Betaworks 的影子总是不时的从它的身后浮现，从去年以一千五百万美元收购 Summize 而获得搜索功能，到今年五月将 Bit.ly 置为默认服务。而 Betaworks 甚至将触角延伸至桌面客户端 Tweetdeck 中，因此也不难理解，为什么 Tweetdeck 的默认链接缩短器也是 Bit.ly 了。这条完善的产品线，为其他投资者设置了一个准入障碍，但毕竟 Betaworks 抓住了其中的先机，提早窥见了 Twitter 有望成为未来即时搜索市场领军者的趋势，而 Facebook 在这方面整整迟到了一年。Tr.im 所带来的是一种明确的崩溃前兆吗？我想是的。 [...]</description>
