If it were bugs.kde.org ubuntu.com or what-is-what.com then yes I
would trust it. If it were nimp.org or goatse.ch then no I would not.
I guess too many years at /. has made me warry of blind links.

Like I said, tinyurl prevents me from seeing where the link is going,
so I cannot decide if I trust it or not. Among other drawbacks, such
as latency which _does_ affect me.
