I think that tinyurl and its competitors are spawn of Beelzebub for security and other reasons. One of my clients is cleaning up after a Trojan attack using Tinyurl, for one.
=========
Nice shootin.
I was totally unaware of tinyurl's perfidious use of trojans - which makes me feel like a smacked ass since I'm the sort of bloke what runs recurring netstat sessions to keep tabs on my machine's port activity. Although, I'm just about all Linux at home now so trojans dependent upon IE/Win32 codage for delivery and execution would be stillborn.
Still, I don't intend to support hijakers so goodbye tinyurl et. al.
