  i think the criticism on techcrunch is valid and its something i hate about url shrinkers. it hides what i'm clicking through to, and thats the #1 reason i don't use them and as a rule, don't click on them if i can help it. clever idea though.

    I see your point. However, even if a URL seems innocent it might still lead you to unwanted material. The service is geared for the 100s of thousands of people that currently use shrinkers. Our site still provides a benefit to a visitor even if they don't actively participate in promoting a story. Much like reddit or digg. Hope that helps.
