When making a TinyUrl, do you use the "Open in New Window, Copy to Clipboard" version or do you share the preview version of "Open in New Window?" Both open in a new window.

If I used TinyUrls, I'd have it Open in New Window. Personally, I don't like using them because I like to see what the link is that I'm clicking on.

I've not used either in AR. I do not share from AR - I only share from my WP sites. That said, Ryan Huggins - Thousand Oaks, CA just left a real jewel for me with the WP plugin.

When I do share links I always have them open in a new window.

I used to use Bit.ly (which reminds me I should probably kill that account off). Opening in a new window is key. Now I use the PrettyLink Lite plugin for wordpress which gives me my own shortened URL. That way I'm plugging my website for backlinks, not Bit.ly

I like the open in new window as it lets the reader go back to where they were without losing their place.
