TinyURL implements "Preview Feature"

Recently I wrote about the potential danger in services like TinyURL and SnipURL being used to hoist off malware. While this is not a major �run-for-the-hills� threat, you can read some of the reasonings here.

Well, TinyURL recently came out with a �Preview� feature, which lets you preview the link before going to it. Smart move.

For example, a TinyURL link to Sunbelt Software would look like this in the Preview feature:

Previs2134888888

It�s a start.
