Untiny – Expand the tiny URL to Original one

A bunch of URL shortening services have been popping up everywhere recently, made popular by the advent of micro-blogging, each offering users the base functionality to take long url’s and shorten them, with a few sites incorporating some small yet interesting.

Untiny is a web service which extracts the original URL from the tiny one. The support is of more than 80 tiny services.

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 is NOT a proxy breaker!

The supported services include: 2tu.us, Idek.net, abe5.com, alturl.com, b23.ru, bit.ly, bkite.com, budurl.com, cli.gs, doiop.com, dolop.com, easyurl.net, elfurl.com, ewerl.com, ff.im, fhurl.com, flq.us, fly2.ws, hex.io, hugeurl.com, hugeurl.com, icanhaz.com, is.gd, jijr.com, kissa.be, kl.am, l9k.net, ln-s.net, lurl.no, minilien.com, moourl.com, o-x.fr, omf.gd, parv.us, ping.fm, piurl.com, plurl.me, poprl.com, rb6.me, redirx.com, rickroll.it, rubyurl.com, s3nt.com, shoturl.us, shrinkurl.us, shw.me, snipr.com, snipurl.com, snurl.com, srnk.net, srnk.net, starturl.com, tighturl.com, tiny.pl, tinyarro.ws, tinyurl.com, tr.im, tubeurl.com, twurl.nl, u.mavrev.com, ub0.cc, updating.me, ur1.ca, url.co.uk, url.ie, urlcut.com, urlhawk.com, wapurl.co.uk, x.se, xrl.in, xrl.us, xurl.jp, yatuc.com, yep.it, yfrog.com

An API has also been created for the service to enable developers and other services to tap into the Untiny service to expand shortened URLs.

Among the developments currently underway for Untiny are a Firefox add-on, Greasemonkey script, Mac widget and Windows widget.
