Wow - give the tinyurl AND where it point too :-)

Very sensible. Quite a few people don't like following TinyUrls in
case they point to something inappropriate for work, for example.

Which is why I was just about to suggest makeashorterlink.com (which says
where it is redirecting to), until I read that they've been aquired by
tinyurl. That's progress I guess!
