I have a handful of domain names I’ve stored up over the years for various projects. Some are in use, quite a few are not. When Chorus first launched I bought the short domain: chr.us for sharing short urls on Twitter to our content.

Since then Bit.ly (who was powering the short urls) has started charging a whole lot more for their service. And Twitter has put limits on how many posts can be automatically posted to their platform in a given month. Given that all the other social sites we post to don’t have as strict of limits on characters in posts, the idea of short urls doesn’t really make sense these days.

So, I am repurposing the domain name to re-direct specifically to my blog. I want to start using the “blog” portion of my website more. The goal will be to post things that don’t make sense on the homepage, and to move some of my other social media posting to one place that I control. I want to start bringing my monthly photo posts from Instagram here. I want to post more about my vinyl collection. I want to share random updates more.

And having a quick short URL to direct to the blog makes sense.
