    TinyURL does help to make the long url shorter, which makes it easier to share.

    But, at the same time, there is a downside to this. We have to be very careful not to click on tinyurl from unknown source, as you don’t know what you are really clicking on until it redirects to the original page.

    Interesting List.
    I’ve used the first two, not the third.

    @Ramesh
    Yes, that’s right. You might want to read an article I wrote on the very same topic here:http://aravindjose.com/blog/2008/05/09/how-to-be-safe-while-using-and-clicking-on-shortened-urls/

    and if it is a TinyURL, you may check ‘to-where’ the URL points by making use of the “Preview” feature of TinyURL.

    that is to know where a TinyURL like tinyurl.com/1a2b points to, go to preview.tinyurl.com/1a2b

    and if it is “snurl”, go to peek.snurl/(link_code)

    Just a word of caution: I hate TinyUrl because you have no idea where they are leading you to. You can’t trust them. If I click on a link, I want to know where I am going!

    http://decenturl.com/ is a lot better because it tells you what domain you are going to.
