I tried to create a shortened url for an item on Xstreetsl and Tr.im rejected it with a message saying:
From: someone
Your URL contains a blacklisted domain name,
flagged as spam. Please try again.


What's up with that?

I was just able to repeat it too, but it works with other URL shorteners.

I love it! They got themselves on a blacklist. :)

Well, XStreet is a site that sells stuff, doesn't strike me as odd that it might wind up on some spam blacklists.

it could be very easy if a twit or three selling on Xstreet decided to use them to spam their product(s).

What is that you would do to be spamming using tr.im?

Sending out emails with tr.im urls that get reported to tr.im?

Creating tons of tr.im urls for all your xstreet offerings?
