Sure.

PRO: The tiny URL does the job it is intended to do, which is to
direct your browser to the site with an unwieldy, long URL. Moreover,
the tiny URL is a well-formed and WWW3 compliant URL.

CON: As with all of its brethren, this tiny URL doesn't give you any
idea where you will be going if you click on it, which may cause
embarrasement or worse if you are browsing on the job or in a public
venue (cf. goatsx).

CONCLUSION: I'd give that tiny URL 80 points out of 100. It has a
good beat, and you can dance to it.

Geeze, it's not like Piedmont is someone who's unknown.

I prefer http://makeashorterlink.com/ for that reason but
it seems to me like you're a little more than slightly
paranoid. I understand the need for caution on the net, but
for "regulars"? A little over the edge me thinks.

Here's an example of a like from MASL, it shows what the
link resolves to before going to it.

Um . . . Piedmont said, "Anyone got one of these?" yet the only thing
visible in his post was a tinyURL. He then asked, "and wish to review
it for us?" Again, the only thing visible in his post was a tinyURL.

So I reviewed the tinyURL.

Not a problem Steve, I blocked Kevo about six months ago, Kevo who? As soon
as he gets the correct meds for OCD
I'll consider unblocking him, well, actually no I won't ! ; )
