Title says it all. Can we ban the well-known URL shortners from links in the site. I'd prefer in general text too, but that might to too far in some cases.
Say these 14 (as stolen from a blog):
- bit.ly
- BudURL
- Eweri
- HEX!O
- idek.net
- is.gd
- kl.am
- Lincr
- POPrl.com
- RubyURL
- Snipurl
- TinyURL
- twurl
- urlBorg
- goo.gl
They only obfuscate links; making broken links particularly hard to correct. Considering the type of users who typically use them I cringe every time I have to click one (though it's been a while since I got a virus warning).
