This isn't really much of a surprise... Often times good things are lead astray. Internet was made for information exchange, but now there's a song that describes what it's more used for...

Email, text messaging, phone calls... There's nothing safe against advertisers.

Due to the fact that URL length is not really an issue in emails, I always consider a shortened URL. Then again, I consider any shortened URL suspect.
