I agree. Most of my sites have frame busting code in them, simply because most of the times, the frame spoils the look of my page. Also the frame sort of implies as though my page is part of the site that does the framing, and I find that annoying.

As regards URL shorteners, I don't mind them one bit. The only problem I have with URL shorteners is that they may be used to disguise malicious links, and even that problem is being solved (bit.ly provides automatic warnings).
