Dave Winer makes a point about how he posts to his own blog and only syndicates his content to medium.com via rss because he wants his content to live on for years.<p>Ironically when you visit the medium.com version of his post[1], all the links in it were hijacked by ifttt.com and turned into ift.tt shortlinks. So his effort to escape the medium.com content jail landed him right inside the ifttt.com content jail as well. Double jail.<p>Will those ift.tt shortlinks still load in 5 years? Who knows.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;medium.com&#x2F;@davewiner&#x2F;anywhere-but-medium-5450cb19f2c1#.53guhnze5" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;medium.com&#x2F;@davewiner&#x2F;anywhere-but-medium-5450cb19f2...</a>
