Integrate link target type to the short link?
One of the problems with URL shortening services is that you don't know what's behind them. I get this issue a lot in my mobile browsing: I don't want to click on YouTube links (I can't see them on my mob), I probably don't want to bother with flickr links and .pdf links are also out of the question. You get the idea.
Could urlB.org perhaps get a structure that would indicate what's behind it? E.g. ub0/i/xx could indicate an image, ub0/v/xx a video, ub0/m/xx an mp3 or sound format, etc. Don't know if this can be integrated in the way the short links are created. Anyway, you probably thought of this already

I’m thinking this is a good idea:)

Inappropriate?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’m thankful
