- orliesaurus 4y agoAgreed I think on bitly at least you can use some character after the URL - I think its bit.ly/somethingsomething+ (the plus) - and you get a bitly page that shows you where the URL is supposed to land. I think tinyurl had a similar mechanism.
- memorable 4y agoTinyURL has a feature called preview mode, which allows you to automatically preview any URL before getting redirected without using the extra +. I think it's a nice feature.
