Want to know what's behind the short links such as http://bit.ly/aJyaBT? Now, you can find out the shortening links with Firefox add-ons : Long URL Please.

URL-shortening services such as bit.ly and tinyurl.com are great when you want to posting a long, complicated links on social networking sites such as Twitter. Just use the service, and a long link becomes a short one. But they pose a problem as well, because before someone clicks such a shortened link, they have no idea where it leads.

If you're the kind of person who like to know where a URL will lead you, I bet you will love Long URL Please.


You don't have to take any action to use Long URL Please. Install it, and whenever you visit a Web page that includes shortened links, you'll see the original long links, instead. For instance, you'll be able to view the original links on Web-based mail services and Twitter.

You can get the Firefox add-ons here.
