Discover actual TinyURL link without clicking it

Have you ever doubt that some random TinyURL links we found on the web could lead us to such an awful result? e.g., worm and virus. We better know before it’s too late.

There’s a way to solve this doubt.

By using this Greasemonkey script, Tin Foil Hat. To use this, of course you will need a Firefox browser installed.

Watch this script in action. :)

    I just noticed that, when i try to create tinyurl for www.izzatz.com.

    But this still can be used for the old tinyurl links. ;)
