Agreed. I avoid clicking on tinyurl.com links for this very reason.
And are long urls a big deal? I found a titanium spork the other day on Amazon, and my friends were fine with the giant honkin' link I IMed. On blogs, forums and the like, you can always hide the giant url behind some hyperlink text.
The only good use of shortened URLs I've seen is in IRC channel topics.
