The company I work at uses Sonic Wall, which blocks most shortened URLs. I can, however, *see* the expanded URLs in Brizzly. Thus, I can highlight the expanded URL, copy to the clipboard, and paste into a browser. Ideally, Brizzly would give me a configurable option so all I need to do is click the URL. As others have pointed out, this is super easy to do via JavaScript. You would preserve the original shortened URL when I post or retweet, but when I click on an expanded URL that I'm viewing, just go directly to the expanded URL.

Yes! Only seeing three lists requires extra clicks for me to navigate to my lists.

Eric Burke replied on August 01, 2008 12:49 to the question "auto-shorten urls?" in Twitter:

They now appear to shorten virtually every URL I post, which is annoying because I do not want them to shorten my URLs without asking. I wish this were a configurable option. Many times the URL conveys information about the page you are linking to and I don't want it mangled.

I agree, this is a horrible design. I want people to see my tweets exactly as I type them. They are changing my words without asking or even explaining the rationale.
