How to preview a TinyURL
Sunday, December 30th, 2007
Just a quick tip for today. The site TinyURL is a great website (and super convenient for long web addresses that are annoying to paste into emails/IM/etc) but if you don’t trust the source, sometimes clicking on it may be risky.
To solve this, before clicking on the link, go to this TinyURL preview page and enable previews. You can then go back and click the untrusted TinyURL link, and it will safely take you to a TinyURL-hosted preview page where you can view the original web address before deciding whether to visit it or not.
