URLx is so much better than TinyURL or SnipURL. URLx includes the domain name in the shortened URL unlike the other two. I would never click on a TinyURL for the reason that I never knew where I was going.

Finally someone fixed what I have thought to be the main issue with shortened URL’s – obfuscated URL’s

URLx:
http://urlx.org/

Example:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Veign&btnG=Google+Search

becomes
http://urlx.org/google.com/10d4

See how you can tell its going to the Google.com domain
