RESOLVE SHORT URLS before storing. Short URLs are for microblogging; you should never actually keep them around.

	require 'net/http'

	# WARNING do not use this; it works but is very limited
	def resolve url
	res = Net::HTTP.get_response URI(url)
	if res.code == '301' then res['location']
	else url.to_s
	end
	end
