perma.cc? Wow. Thank you for not trying to establish a permanent namespace in a vanity ccTLD with a tenuous relationship to some privately-held company.

if you don't mind me asking for your opinion, what about using vanity TLD for shortened URLs for PageDash? e.g. bit.ly, goo.gl, amzn.to, etc. Would you be cool with that, and if not, why not?

"Cool URIs don't change." Link rot is the biggest threat to the World-Wide Web. In my view it's irresponsible to issue a URL without being confident I can keep it available at least as long as the document exists. I don't have that kind of confidence in the government of Libya or Tonga decades from now.

I'm also not a big fan of redirections that cross failure domains, just because they make the web slower and less reliable.

Very cool, I'm definitely interested in signing up when you launch this!

lol, you found your domain on impossibility, didn't you.

lushhat, zinghelm, usedgrue.

lol, not sure I got what you meant by that :P lucky me I guess :)
