Untiny.me is a webapp that extracts the original URL from the shortened one, revealing just where it is you are headed to.

“The main reason of Untiny is that some of the tiny services are blocked in some countries although the original long URL is not blocked. Untiny retrieves the original URL so you can access it – if it is not blocked too.” [Untiny]

Also, this webapp can help you determine if the shortened link is actually the site you really wanted to go to, and not some shady deal or offensive graphic. Technorati Tags: untiny, webapp, url, unshorten

They need to track additional information about their customers, suppliers, employees. For example, a hair stylist needs to know her client’s dye formula, an international travel company needs to know the languages spoken for all of their tour guides, and a daycare center needs to know who has permission to pick each child up. ” [BatchBook, on how it is different from other hosted contact management systems]

Usernamecheck.com lets you verify if a username (usually the yours) is already registered on the current popular online services.

“This site is a quick and dirty solution to a question that I often lay awake at night worrying about. Do I have my username registered across every site that I should? What if the next internet humiliation meme just happens to share the username I’ve been using for years, and suddenly people are emailing me asking “hey, is this you ???”" [usernamecheck.com]

Not all people wishes to use all the services included in the search, but I’d say more than a few would be interested in parking their username, just to prevent from others using it. Technorati : check, name, online, service, social, user
