Can we use bit.ly? How about ie.ee?
It would be great if the URLs in the references were shorter. I would like to use bit.ly or tiny.cc or other service - but I don't want the references to die if the shortened url service does.
The IEEE should offer a shortened url service - perhaps they can negotiate with the Estonian engineering company that owns it to get ie.ee and offer http://ie.ee/<number> shortened URLs, with 9 digit numbers reserved for past and future ieee xplore articles, 9+3 digit numbers assigned to references per paper, and 8+4 digit numbers self-assignable by ieee members (a nice perk that costs almost nothing).

Perhaps the ieee can even get its own top level domain, .ieee . We are bigger than many small countries ...
