Most shortened URLs will never be looked at (unless you are in the habit of clicking on all links in your feed), so why expend effort resolving them?
There is a simpler approach...expand the URL on demand, such as when the mouse hovers over the link, or expressly in response to a context menu option. (The hover approach would be preferable.)
