LongURL

Short Urls people love them and there are a number of services available (for example such TinyURL) but then so do the spammers, phishers and malware attackers who do not want you to see the real destination of a short url.

Personally I hate short urls because of the security risk but if people are going to send them then you might want to use LongURL which allows you to see the true destination of a link when you give it a shorturl. Currently LongUrl works with 208 Url Shortening services. You can also get a firefox extension for quickness.

Simple but very useful.
