Spam free tiny url links...
Not everything we do is first to market. Some things are just incorporating what we see done elsewhere and think to ourselves: "Good idea/implementation/social good". And here's one that we saw over at Mark Jeftovic's EasyURL.net. We're good friends with Mark and share the common social good of hating spam (but then who doesn't?). Mark's EasyDNS.com and my DomainManager.com are both tied in to the dns blacklist program where we don't allow domains to be added if they have been used for spam.
Naturally, we want to ensure that XR.com is also not used for spam. So, when we saw that EasyURL had tied in with SURBL.org - we just had to follow. Hat's off to Mark - it's a great social good idea.
XR.com is now protected with Spam-free tiny URL shortening. We won't create any XR tiny url links if the destination URL is listed in SURBL.org.

...speaking as an SURBL admin (and I also manage my own dnsbl)... GOOD JOB! Also, you should probably do some kind of periodic rechecking since it is also possible for spammers to set up the shortened xr.com domain BEFORE they use their domains in spams... that is, if you are not already doing this!
(I wish others would do this, too!)
Hi - I'm making a comprehensive comparison chart of as many URI-shrinking services as I can find, and I'm trying to get an idea of how popular each site is. Would you be able to provide an estimate of how many shrunk URIs are in your database?
Adding the word preview in front of any xr link gives you a 30 sec preview of where it goes. Example:
http://preview.xr.com/on-a-boat
