RS-Linkify Version 3.0.4.6
Just a little update with a new safety feature.
Links that have been shortened (goo, tinyurl, short, and many more) now have a toggle to expand (unshorten) them. This means you can see their true destination and it will expose scripts that may be hidden in the shortened url.
Example of a link you
don't
want to click: http://goo.gl/rTuWHq
See how RS Linkify exposes it by clicking expand.
Here is an example of a friendly one: http://tinyurl.com/kcjhrgj
Here's a another good example, not evil but it gets the point across.
Check out cute kittens here: http://bit.ly/1dhfogb
You can see where these links point to and choose whether you want to click them or not. If you don't understand what the exposed link is telling you, then don't click it.
Since gifs are all the rage...

Thanks to Blasty for giving me the inspiration
