INVITE 9 FRIENDS FOR THIS DON'D DINNER EVENT AND YOU WILL GET THE REWARD AS

To avoid spamming your friends wall you can copy the URL when you select one of your friends and publish to your wall and this is good way to get friends join you and stop unnecessary wall post.

You can copy like this

Security Risk Behind Shortened URL's

Shortening a URL is easy and we most of times use site such as TinyURL, bit.ly, is.gd, and more to shorten our bulky links.

But When we see such URL's we cannot predict by seeing them where these URL's will land us or may be used to hide identity of malicious sites.

Take example of bit.ly

Look at this URL

http://bit.ly/d3DyI0

You cannot say where this will take you by simple looking at it.But To see where it will land you at just add a + sign at the end of the url and paste it address bar and you will see all the information.This URL simple take to my own blog.

http://bit.ly/d3DyI0+

TinyURL has a similar option. But instead of adding a plus sign at the end of a link, you prepend the word preview.
Example
http://tinyurl.com/367pwvr

Now Add preview before the tinyurl as
http://preview.tinyurl.com/367pwvr

This will show you the actual URL behind the tiny URL.

If you're checking lots of links, it can be clunky to manually copy, paste, and edit URLs. Several sites offer automated scripts to make things a bit easier. For example, when you encounter a suspicious short URL, you can click to Longurl, ExpandMyURL.com, orLong URL Please.com.

Paste the suspect short URL into these sites' dialog boxes, and they'll show you the full, expanded link.
