Well, as it stands now I won't click through a snipurl link: a while back 
tinyurl did a critical thing from my point of view: they allowed me to 
set a flag that allows me to review the 'target' URL before it sends my 
browser there... snipurl seems to be one of the less-well-thought-through 
services that requires the link-receivers to clink on the shorted-link 
blindly and take their chances on where it sends them.
