That would be sweet.

My only issue with shorteners is that you don't know what you're 
clicking on. Not clicking on unknown links has been drilled in to me 
since day 1 of Internet usage, so to suddenly experience systems which 
are designed to obfuscate is foreign to me.  I guess we have twitter to 
blame for this.
