How about we build a standard communication mechanism for websites that shorten urls and builders of sites that allow people to use them. Here's what I propose
From the builder of the shortners' perspective, they need to provide an API that can be used by the builders to extract more information about the link.
So, if you paste http://short/letters http://short/letters into this window, pg could go to the url http://short/letters/fullurl http://short/letters/fullurl and that would return a string that contains the full url corresponding to that short url.
There could be a list of other options that could follow along like that and provide more information about all urls managed by the short urls. There could be screen shots of the site behind it. If you hover over it, you could pop up a tool tip with details about the url, who created it, when, what the title of the page is, the keywords and descriptions.
In a way we are replicating how the human brain stores information. Each nucleas of the nerve cell stores information about how it was built in the form of DNA, that's the code we write. There are long fibers that extend from the nucleas out to other networks of neurons. They supply electricty, pulses of light, and arrangements of magnets on little spinning disks and wafers of silicon.
