While a url shortening service (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URL_shortening">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URL_shortening</a>) is helpful in trimming long urls, there is no way to tell from looking at the short url where the link actually goes. This fact is used by e-criminals to direct traffic to nefarious websites. Security professionals suggest that users should always preview a short URL before accessing it. There are several "decoding" websites that will decode the shortened url and several will <b>*preview*</b> the short url target webpage. Check out the webpage article, <a href="http://www.aboutonlinetips.com/decode-tiny-url-to-identify-real-web-address/">“8 Ways to Identify Real Web Address Before Clicking any Short or Tiny URL"</a> that discusses the pros and cons of using short urls and lists a few decoding and previewing services. <br><br><b>DIRECTOR’S BOOKSHELF:<o:p></o:p></b></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>One of our colleagues suggested recently that I might want to occasionally share some of the reading resources that I find useful in my work.

Friedman. Originally published in 2007, this compelling book describes how rapidly the world is changing because of technology and the global digital revolution. Friedman presents a variety of examples from his travels around the world to illustrate how the world has been flattened by the equal access to technology and knowledge. He hammers home the point that if you are an American, you better be into providing personalized, passionate service because everything else will be digitized, virtualized or miniaturized and can be done by someone else cheaper and faster.
