LongURLplease: Reveals Shortened Links

LongURLplease does one simple thing and does it extremely well, it lets you reveal the actual URL behind the shortened link. Once installed, it will replace all shortened links (on the page) with the actual ones. For instance, a TinyURL link pointing to some Youtube video will be replaced with its Youtube address.

To get it running on your browser you need to either install the Firefox extension or use the bookmarklet if you’re using some other browser.
