Services like TinyURL, dickensurl.com, tini.us and many others makes long urls short. Twitter makes long URLs email friendly and save users from overflowing their 140-character limit, but shortened links can be a pain to click, wait, and then be disappointed if the link was not what you expected it to be.

The Greasemonkey Extension[link below] needs to be installed for this script to work.
