    Although URL shortening services are great for saving space, they do pose a problem as you don’t know where that URL takes you.

    With an increasing number of people using short links to deceive people into clicking on malicious links http://www.expandmyurl.com allows you to preview where your short link goes to stop you getting a nasty surprise when you get there.

    It comes with a clean Control Panel and you get to keep track of all your link as well.

    http://surf2url.com

    There is a Cool feature when you use the Cloak feature as it will hide the actual URL from being display on your browser. You get to change the Title and some MetaKeywords too.

    They even got Special Mail Link as well which I think is very useful when I sent out offers to my mail list.

    And you get to do all these for free.

    3) Traffic Analysis (by time, country, unique/raw visits).
    4) They even allow unlimited number of POP3 email addresses on the shortened subdomain.
    5) Eight choices for in their network quatz.net, urigate.com, uriway.com, urlway.com, snapify.net, urliz.net, wobe.biz, snipify.net. (from their website)
