I use long URL because I want unique URL that will never change.

Specifying what item(s) should be targeted in a pool of possibly millions, with endless possible combinations is bound to require some kind of precise pointer.

Here is an example URL I use: https://bacnethelp.com/vis/overview/KHs6cHJvamVjdC1pZCAiNTA1....

What I could do, however, is use some kind of shortening url scheme, kinda like google maps: http://goo.gl/maps/3uP8y.

I'm still uncertain about which way is better.

EDIT: Of course I mean a local shortening url, pointing to my own databases.
