<title>(ActionScript 3) bit.ly URL-shortening script for TextExpander that associates URLs with your bit.ly account - Todd</title>
<link>http://snipplr.com/view/13743/bitly-urlshortening-script-for-textexpander-that-associates-urls-with-your-bitly-account/</link>
<description><![CDATA[ <p>TextExpander is a great Mac tool that expands special abbreviations typed anywhere in the OS into useful snippets of text. One of the AppleScript snippets included shortens a URL in the clipboard using the bit.ly URL-shortening service. You copy the URL from your browser and just type /bitly in an email, IM, or Twitter, for example, and the abbreviation is replaced by a shortened URL.

One advantage of bit.ly over other shortening services is that it provides click statistics  and other useful information for each shortened URL. If you have a (free) bit.ly account, the URLs you shorten are easily accessed through their site. However, the script included with TextExpander shortens the URL without associating it with your bit.ly account. _This_ version of the script is a very simple modification which associates URLs you shorten with your bit.ly account. 

To use this script, change `[your_username]` and `[your_API_key]` in line 9 to the correct values. (Once you have created a bit.ly account, you can find your API key here: [http://bit.ly/app/developers](http://bit.ly/app/developers).) Create a new snippet in TextExpander and paste the script into the Content field, making sure to select AppleScript in the dropdown above the field. Set the abbreviation and you're done.</p> ]]></description>

<title>(Perl) shortLink v2 - engel</title>
<link>http://snipplr.com/view/5180/shortlink-v2/</link>
<description><![CDATA[ <p>Shorter, more simple, but with a GUI. Requires GNOME (and the Zenity program, which comes by default with GNOME).

I recommend setting a hotkey with GNOME or Compiz (mine is Ctrl+Alt+A) to run this program, so when the hotkey is pressed you can quickly and easily shorten URLs.</p> ]]></description>
