Do you click links made by url shorteners? - Off-topic

I'd like to gather your opinion, what to you think about url shorteners (like http://goo.gl, or http://bitly.com/). From the one hand it is a good stuff to measure user clicks on stuff u post on forums / facebook / google+. But on the other hand, ppl dont know where the link can lead them.

Yes, but I use sites that shows me were the link redirects me to.
Code:
Sent from my bread using the toaster

Sometimes I do, but sometimes they're to bull**** ad sites that don't actually go to the link I want. I'm not overly skeptical of them, if it does end up being a bad link, I hit the back button, no harm done.

my dingdongs always think it's pr0n hidden in every url

I use Goo.gl and it shows me traffic to the links.

Well its time for the 1st giveaway on 1800PocketPC.com, all you have to do is head over to this post
Review of SecuBox 1.4.2
Complete the statement ” I think I deserve the freecopy of SecuBox because … ” and post a comment in under 50 words. Also check the rules posted on that thread for eligibility to enter the competition. Good Luck
...But free alternatives are better
Why would anyone want SecuBox when there's a free, opensource, alternative: FreeOTFE4PDA (http://www.FreeOTFE.org/)- which does the same job, but offers more options and greater security?

Decision Decider Lite

Hi All,
I discovered a good little app called the Decision Decider Lite that our lass uses because she can never make up her mind and the best thing is its free.
It's basically a simple app which you add choices in i.e get drunk or go to the gym or jump off a cliff. Then it chooses one for you. Pretty basic I know but for silly choices it can be useful for an indecisive person.
I'll upload screenshoots when I get home tonight.

you could at least give us some screenshots and a better description what the app does.
Updated will add screenshots tonight
Screen shots added
What a total waste! On the same level as all those rubbish apps from 'Apps Publisher' on the market.
thanks for the update and the screenshots, now this passes as an app review
but sorry i have to agree with justbabu, this is just crap. if i want something like this i'd get a coinflip app...

Misleading Ads on download sites

I have seen a lot of ads over the net, but the worst are those on download sites, today I was just about to fall for this on Dev-host (d-h.st) with this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The ad does not say anything else, just a picture of a download button, and the link takes you to sharelive.net website. This is a very misleading ads, and should be removed from the internet and banned from putting such ads.
I am techie enough to know which is the correct button and not fall in their scam, what about others? they always fall in this scam and download adware/malware !!!
Just got mad about this happening on Dev-Host website....
The two blue download buttons are obviously fake :sly:
If you fall for it, your deserve it. Techie or not, anybody who has been on the Internet longer then a minute will tell the blue download buttons are fake.
