How is "bit.ly" a domain hack, anyway? -- Smjg (talk) 01:48, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
 * If the intent is to register a domain that is easily recognizable, I would hardly consider it a "hack". Maybe there's a more approprate term? Undisputedloser (talk) 21:02, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

 * It is the exact definition of a domain hack if you look at what a domain hack is. Unless you think bit.ly is a Libyan website, or mostly caters to Libyan people:


 * A domain hack is an unconventional domain name that combines domain levels, especially the top-level domain (TLD), to spell out the full "name" or title of the domain.[1] Examples include del.icio.us, goo.gl and fold.it. In this context, the word hack denotes a clever trick (as in programming), not an exploit or break-in (as in security). --81.149.74.231 (talk) 12:01, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

More about bit.ly: "bit.ly, a service that was formerly the default choice for Twitter"... it was before t.co being created. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 187.114.251.164 (talk) 16:42, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

The .ly extension has nothing to do with the .ly domain. It should be deleted or split off. Pineappman (talk) 15:36, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
