The good thing about bit.ly is that it has a URL filtering, so before you
ended up in a malicious page, it blocks.

Also I like that you can customise your URLs, for example just created:

http://bit.ly/piclist

then I can use the same URL but adding a plus sign to it to check how many
of you clicked on it:

http://bit.ly/piclist+
