> The main benefit is really just the fact that once you claim a link, you don't need to claim another and you can change the destination that link leads to as many times as you want - we need this a lot and don't want to pay a monthly fee for this.

It's good that you found a way to scratch your personal itch.

As a prospective user, I'm concerned with the idea that a random third party who created the shorturl can change the links I consume to point to arbitrary destinations right from under my nose. I expect that my links are constant, and at most the destination does the redirecting. I feel that the potential to misuse this as an attack vector is too great for this to be an option.
