ShortenURLs Description

Shorten URLs from certain websites using their own URL shorteners Certain websites, such as Flickr, Amazon, and YouTube, offer their own URL shortening services for use on Twitter.Usually, these shortened links come either from their post-to-Twitter feature or from one of their official Twitter accounts. It's not easy to transform one of their regular links into a shortened one yourself. The easiest sites, such as Amazon, simply require copying an identifier from the URL; other sites, such as Flickr, require extracting the short URL from somewhere in the document. This can be a lot of work to do manually.Here is where ShortenURLs comes in. ShortenURLs is a free Mac OS X service which will help you to quickly shorten URLs from these websites using their own URL shorteners.Installation: Move the “ShortenUrls.service” bundle to your Home/Library/Services folder. You may need to create the Services folder, and you may need to log out and back in after installing the service bundle.Usage: Select some text, then select the “Shorten URLs” item from the Services menu.Supported websites:· Amazon (amzn.com)· Ars Technica (arst.ch)· Flickr (flic.kr)· The Mac Observer (tmo.to)· TechCrunch (tcrn.ch)· YouTube (youtu.be) What's New in This Release: · Added support for The Mac Observer. · Added support for Amazon wish-list URLs. · Fixed shortening of Flickr URLs whose username portions contain @ symbols.
