tiny-url.info
Seems to provide a centralized place to create shortcodes on multiple services. Provides sample shortlinks for each service, whether provider gives direct forwards, previews, ads or frames. Unfortunately it does not seem to have been updated for several years and the "state" column shows green for services that are down.
