Everyone knows about URL shortening service like Bit.Ly, Goo.Gl and many more, these are popular as they convert big URLs into short one which is easy to share on services like Twitter as they allow limited character.

But the problem with these URL shortening services is that they do not provide any information and you will not have any idea where you are going unless you arrive at the page. Some services directly took you to destination page while some shows ads before taking you to destination page.

Here comes the service URL Uncover which provides details of destination page before you go there so that you will be at the safe side.
