Bug Description

You can't see what the real url the tinyurl will redirect to,maybe it's a 'twitter Best Video'.I think gwibber should add a function ,when the mouse over the tinyurl ,it can display the Longurl and get the tittle would be great. See the firefox addon of bit.ly ,and also u can use the API of untiny.me(http://untiny.me/api/).

the first time to submit wishlist to launchpad, just got it on register a blueprint!

https://blueprints.launchpad.net/gwibber/+spec/tinyurl-extract
so how to delete it?

Nice suggestion :)
It would be great if the displayed longurl can be clicked and opened directly in the web browser.

+1, Echofon (twitter add-on for Firefox) does the same thing and it's pretty useful.
