I wonder why the second option isn't used more often:

"Or, give your recipients confidence with a preview TinyURL:"

That way someone can follow a link such as the following which tells
them where they will be redirected to without doing it unless they decide:


http://preview.tinyurl.com/77w9yc8

So someone clicking on the above sees:

Preview of TinyURL.com/77w9yc8
This TinyURL redirects to:
