What's the best way to follow up your many TinyURL references? Tom Garrud
My system -- Firefox 3, Zone Alarm Security Suite, Windows XP -- will not let me access any TinyURLs. David Gompertz
TinyURL references work as published if you type them directly into the address bar of your browser or, at worst, stick http:// on the front, eg http://tinyurl.com/owd8n etc. But it's probably easier to follow the links from the Ask Jack blog, where I use the full address of each link instead of the TinyURL.
Some websites and security programs may block TinyURL addresses as they can be used to take people to malware sites. The Zone Alarm Suite now does this via its Spy Site Blocking tab, but this is not part of the free firewall program.
