POPSShortened URLs are convenient – and trackable More: For all the convenience of short URLs, some Internet security experts worry that they could be used to camouflage spam and phishing attacks and redirect people to malicious Web sites. “People have no way to know where they’re going,” said Patrik Runald, chief security advisor at F-Secure Security Labs, a maker of security software. “These services are great and they serve a purpose, but at the same time, there is a darker side.” And if a shortening site shuts down, any links funneled through it would be lost forever, Mr. Runald said.

POPSFigure out who took a Flickr photo from the photo URL Sometimes you'll come across a link to a photo hosted at Flickr but not have any idea who took the photo or where to find it on the Flickr site. This method will solve the problem. (Note that you can often also solve it by Googling just the numeric portion of the photo URL, e.g., if you want to find who took the photo hosted here: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2411/2237119567_e1e640b249.jpg you could do a Google search for 2237119567.)

POPSSnipURL 2.0 is here: the best URL-shortening service There's a million of these URL-shortening services. Other good ones are the classic http://TinyURL.com, the subdomain-based http://notlong.com, and the newer, simple, quick http://rurl.org, and the now-popular http://urlTea.org, which lets you "semanticize" the shortened URL by including descriptive text at the end. To me, SnipURL -- especially the new release -- beats them all in terms of features and ease of use. Every once in a while the site goes down, though, which strikes fear in my heart.
