I don't know. It depends on the shortener I suppose. It should work.

Hmm, this needs testing I think:

Here is my ToodleDo referral link:
http://www.toodledo.com/index.php?ref=td4a4ae8a773e3a

Here is the ow.ly shortened version:

Would someone please try both of them and let me know...

Ha ;)

They both take me to the Toodledo sign in/sign up page. However, that does not really prove anything. In order to really test it, you would have to have someone sign up from the shortened link I think. From the little I know of how URL shortening works, I cannot think of any reason why it would be a problem here.

Seeking un-suspecting victims now, let me know if you get a run of sign-ups...
