Wondering where your shortened links are pointing? Want to reveal the destination behind any shortened link? Then don’t hesitate to try Long URL please.
Long URL Please replaces short urls with the originals so you can see where links actually link to. Short urls (eg http://tinyurl.com/123) simply redirect to some other page on the internet – you can’t tell what website they link to by looking at the link. This plugin fixes this by transparently replacing any of these links when every web page loads.
It is a free Firefox browser addon, that replaces short urls, on the the fly, with the originals so you can see where the links actually link to.
The extension supports 64 popular URL shortening services including TinyURL, Snipr, bit.ly, and Digg. To make sure that your page formatting is not disturbed, Long URL Please shows only the same number of characters as the short url, which means that you may not see the complete address in a web page. However, if you mouse over the web address your browser status bar will reveal the full address, letting you know where the link is heading to.
It uses the api provided by http://www.longurlplease.com to determine where short urls actually link to.
