How to See Where a TinyUrl Is Really Linking To

Most of us have seen it… links to tiny urls on blog posts and for twitter users it’s a common thing… Twitter changes the long link into the tiny urls automatically. But that’s little uneasy as we don’t know where the link is actually linking to … what website is that… what it is all about?? And many such questions. As I also used to get confused about it… whether this site is safe to open or not...maybe it’s containing some kind of virus in it. As such it doesn’t matter too much … as I know the solution for virus removal.

Go to TinyUrl.com site, you don’t have to register or make log in id…. There is a feature on that site that will show you a preview of the final destination URL.

Just click that option “Click here to enable previews”

And now when you click on a TinyUrl link like this one…

http://tinyurl.com/6h8van, you will be taken to page on tinyurl.com that will show the final destination link.
