This is something Jeff had done a long time ago that was awesome. Right off the bat he saw the redirects being a problem, and got TinyURL to use SURBL. Which is why we don't see tinyurl redirects as often as Geocities. Tinyurl was more then happy to use it.
But tinyurl is a bit easier to parse out then a whole web page on geocities. That is still no excuse. These geocities redirects often contain no html body content. Only the default geocities crap, and the redirect script. Should still be able to parse out the URL and check against SURBL/URIBL.
Many thanks to Tinyurl for using the service. And of course thanks to Jeff.
