 Tinyurl links - Iffy
www.tinyurl.com creates two tiny links.

One goes straight to the website, the other goes to a preview page.

It is the choice of the person creating the link which one he uses, although I suppose he could post both on this forum.

Use of the preview link is to avoid mischievous redirection.

Some cautious users will not click on a tiny link that goes straight to a site, in case it's something dodgy.
