TinyURL lets you “beautify” it and make it look like this:
It’s helpful in a lot of ways, including when you’re posting a link to a service like Twitter and you only have 140 characters to work with.

If you like TinyURL, you might also want to check out http://traceurl.com
TraceURL shortens any URL plus it tracks traffic to the page through the TraceURL shortened web site address, showing where the traffic originated. Count accesses and have the origin of the visitor displayed on a Google Map.

I just discovered linkasa.com
It seems more secured, and really sexier. ;)
Did you test it ?
