Often I avoid clicking on shortened URLs because I don't know where they will take me, especially if they are from someone I don't know.

These Chrome extensions for bit.ly and goo.gl will reveal the full URLs when you hover over the shortened URLs.

Bit.ly also has an official extension for Firefox.
