"For one, they are becoming weapons for spam attacks" - http://safe.mn/ has been created to address this issue. Safe.mn addresses the two main criticisms to URL shorteners: security and transparency. All links are thoroughly verified
for viruses, malware, phishing, malicious content, session stealing,
cross-site scripting attacks, etc. Any suspicious link gets flagged,
and users are warned about it. Safe.mn is also the most transparent URL
shortener service: all links generated by Safe.mn are [publicly available|ftp://anonymous@safe.mn/], and updated regularly.
