Tinyurl is a great service and i can understand why it is used, but i feel that using this type of service in a wider audience is a bad idea.
We're having this exact same argument at the moment here, and I would agree that ideally this service should be located under the main publisher's domain. The Guardian uses tinyurl extensively, as do many other publications. We have decided to build our own system instead, as at least this way we are able to track who's clicking the links and where they're coming from as well.
