Excellent point, especially these days: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2415706,00.asp Note that when you see a link at is.gd, you can always preview it by putting a - right at the end of the URL. Or if you want to pre-set automatically seeing (or not seeing) a preview page with any is.gd link, go to: http://is.gd/previews.php Meanwhile, is.gd comes down hard on abuse: http://is.gd/spam.php And accepts complaints (as well as thanks, questions, feedback, well wishes and the like) at: http://is.gd/contact.php (For this among other reasons, is.gd is now my favorite URL shortener. FWIW, its creators also have a sister shortening site, v.gd, which by default always takes link visitors to preview pages. In any case, the creators seem like good people to me.)
