Long URL Please

I built longurlplease to scratch an itch - I don't like short urls because I have to click on them to see where they link to. Please just show me a long url for a change...

Plenty of people have a dislike for the misuse of short urls, even calling them evil. The reality is, short urls are here to stay.

I want to help users and application developers to efficiently convert short urls to their originals. The json api is intended for developers to enhance their web site or application. The firefox plugin gives ordinary users instant benefit - just install and wave goodbye to short urls.

Does this service help you? Get in touch. I'm delighted to assist anyone who wants to use it to improve their app.
