+

+ Short links, for cooperatives. +

+
+
+ +
+ + +
+ +
+

§ I — Particulars

+ +
+ +
+ +

Owned in common.

+

+ The service is to be held by the cooperatives that use it, on a one member, one vote basis, in keeping with the Rochdale principles. +

+
+ +
+ +

Brief by design.

+

+ Tools simple enough to be governed by their members. No tracking, no surveillance, no upsells, no surprises. +

+
+ +
+ +

Open to all forms.

+

+ Worker, consumer, housing, producer, and platform cooperatives are equally at home here, alongside mutuals, federations, and the unions that support them. +

+
+ +
+ +
+ + +
+ +
+

§ II — On the Matter

+ +
+ +
+

i.  What it is

+

+ A link shortener turns long, unwieldy web addresses into brief ones. The form co-op.link/abcd takes the place of fifty characters of query string, useful for print, for speech, for any occasion in which a long URL is impractical. +

+
+ +
+

ii.  Why one in common

+

+ The shorteners in common use are commercial concerns. They record each click, monetise the data, and may vanish with their parent company, taking the links with them. A co­operative answers to its members rather than its shareholders, and the links it issues are meant to endure. +
