No, that is a redirect service. The link snipurl generates will only work as
long as snipurl themselves continue to redirect it. This can be a drawback
when something will be in the Archives for years and years. Not a bad
solution, but the one mentioned at that time (which I bookmarked but somehow
lost) was a better alternative. It actually parsed the original URL and got
rid of any additional characters that did not affect the actual link,
without changing the domain name (so if the domain was Vanagon.com, it
remained Vanagon.com).  You could do the same thing by trial and error, of
course, removing pieces of a link and reloading the page to find out what
works, but this site did it instantly and very effectively.
