The length of that example URL would be a problem to me, I often find myself apologising for 'not having the time to give a shorter answer'. Meaning that it's far more difficult to say something in a few words than it is to express something in several paragraphs. Nice URLs are just the same, they should be concise but include information that users and search engines can easily understand.

The shorter URL is also problematic, there is no information for a user to 'guess' what the page is about.
