Hey David, why link to ow.ly and not directly to http://activesocialplastic.com/urbancomputing/index.html like “BB pal Molly” does at the page you link to for her?

I’m guessing you got the link through twitter/identica/whatever but am interested to know if there’s a purpose for using the extra indirection on boingboing.
