lnk.shrtnrs (Link Shorteners) and Safety

   Recently I was speaking with a group about online safety.  Keeping to the basics, we discussed two main sources of problems: passwords and clicking on links.  I've discussed passwords a number of times here, here, here and here.

   One great way to avoid problems online is simply to not click on links!  Of course, that would probably render the web all but useless to you (well... I guess you could just type in url's but that would get old very quickly).  You probably followed a link to get to this post.  Actually, you probably followed a shortened link to get to this post.
