Hi DimitrisTI,

It's a good idea but doesn't scale easily. I'll keep it in mind.

However, you can still solve the "blind clicking" problem by logging in <http://urlborg.com/a/account/> and checking "show previews" in your preferences. You will always see an "intermediate" page where the target link is displayed and then decide if you really want to go there or not.

I had a similar issue on another site, except that I couldn't view certain international characters in comments posted by others. Steven G. (artfuldodga) verified that we were both using the Unicode Character set (UTF-8) but he suggested checking the region and language settings in the Windows Control Panel to verify that those languages are enabled as additional languages. I've enabled all of the languages that my contacts use, so I'll be monitoring those exchanges for any improvement.

urlBorg and summize

I've integrated summize search results to my url shortener, http://urlborg.com/

If users decide to see the short URL "preview" page (an intermediate page displaying the target URL), they also see references of this short URL in twitter, thus getting an idea of what the link is about.

For me (and millions of potential users!) this is a show-stopper. I can't post Greek (my maternal language), and others can't post in Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, etc.
