Bit.ly: Where'd all the letters go?

Nemo eats them. I use bit.ly to shorten and keep track of my links.  I love it..it's quick, easy to use and best of all, FREE.  They have an open API and if you want, you can always upgrade to a premium plan (no thanks says the cheap bird here).  How to use it: paste a link into the box.  Ex: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/42183807/ns/business-oil_and_energy/?gt1=43001

Press shorten and Nemo gets to work. He leaves us with http://on.msnbc.com/emW7NL.  Now, you don't have to worry about that 140 character limit on Twitter.

Does anyone else find it funny that a company with a fish as a logo began at a place called Betaworks?

ps, I call the fish "Nemo"...I don't know his real name.
