Good point.  I just noticed this on the SnipURL site:

<SNIP>
if you want a quick way to resolve a SnipURL ID to its underlying URL,
you can do it this way...
        http://snipurl.com/resolveurl?id=snipurl_pcworld
...where "id=" contains the ID or the NICKNAME of your snipped URL.
</SNIP>

I wonder if TinyURL has anything similar?
