Re:Tell HN: How to ban url shorteners from linking to your site by jrockway on Monday July 20, 2009 @04:58AM (#714171)
This is exactly why I use noscript.

But anyway, why not a standard API, similar to robots.txt or favicon.ico that will let each site control shortening? Requesting http://foo.com/shorten?url=http://foo.com/long/url/goes/here will return http://foo.com/lkjdhf or whatever.
