Decode Short URL Services

Shortened URLs | ESET ThreatBlog

ESET ThreatBlog posted an article about a new decode short URL service, LongURL.org.
This particular service is very nice, you get a thumbnail screen shot of the website. You can visit LongURL.org itself or you can install it as either a Firefox extension or Greasemonkey script.

TechnixUpdate blogged about decoding short URLs to reveal long URLs back in October as well. My favorite from that article is UnTiny.
