Short links and link shortners.

I hate short links and links shortners...

URLs (links) have precious information: the server name, the location of the page. Shortening that link just blind fold you. You don't know where you're going, so I should you go there?

It's also a very stupid thing in terms of privacy. Why should digs or any other shortening service be provided with the links I follow?

So whenever a see I link of the type digs.by/xpto or bit.ly/XpTo (or anyother) I refuse to click on it.
