I must admit that I hate URI shorteners in general and also I don't trust them. 
How do I know that they (or an attacker) don't silently change their shortened 
URLs? For Bitcoin address shorteners, this is even more of an issue.

I'm still waiting for the shortener whose output (shortened) URI is a 
cryptohash of the input URI. This would allow a client to detect tampering. On 
the other hand, a secure hash would not be any shorter than the Bitcoin address 
to start with.

What do other people think?

I'm pretty sure btc.to is from the people from MtGox and is used in the 
official MTGox App. It is also used and supported in #bitcoin-otc, the largest 
OTC bitcoin market.

They also have built in QR support. But I'm not sure if that'll help.

So address 1J6973u4SGRCZxAEywz5XUMHrqG9XXqieR becomes https://btc.to/19e/ and 
the QR link is https://btc.to/19e/qr

Another option would be support for the firstbits algorithm, which is grounded 
in the blockchain - see http://firstbits.com and

I don't think this will be implemented anytime soon. As soon as HD wallets are 
implemented, addresses will be used only once anyway. At present, I suggest 
using QR codes and NFC for transmitting addresses.
