Tiny URL services have become very popular. Tiny URL service takes a large URL and converts it into a smaller one. Technically it redirects the short URL to the large URL. Short URL is easy to remember and hence these services has gained popularity.
Now the problem is that if I get a short URL link from an unknown or even known person, how do I know what is the real URL? I don’t know whether the real URL is a legitimate web address or is being used for spoofing purposes. So I need to know the real URL first before I open the link in my browser.
- Visit http://www.untiny.com
- Enter the short URL in the box and click on ‘Extract’
- The original long URL to which Short URL would re-direct will be displayed
