Who? Bitly.com?

Perhaps Libya is as reliable as anywhere else in the world - it's all a matter of perspective. Ask The Pirate Bay guys how confident they would be using a .com. Still, the idea of putting a service that offers 'permanence' on a domain so far out of reach seems like a bad idea to me.

The nameservers themselves are here in the us, which will hopefully help. But you have a good point.
