A fellow blogger, Young Yang, made a post on expanding shortened URLs that I feel is worth passing onto my readers. The need for this never really occurred to me but, as Young points out, there too many low life’s out there that will send you to places you don’t want to go.

Young has listed ten free sites that will expand shortened URLs. If you follow shortened links on Twitter or elsewhere you may want to consider using one of them.

His list is HERE.

    You’re welcome. :)

    You posted on a very good topic and something that people should consider.

    One should never be lackadaisical about computer security.
