new bookmarklet!
also get annoyed by twitter shortening urls for you using bit.ly?
same here! if a url needs to be shortened, let it be shortened by your own url shortener! we created a solution to that: a bookmarklet that shortens any url in the twitter status update field.
how to use it: (this example uses smrl.tk)
- you drag this bookmarklet “shorten link!” to your browser bookmarklets bar (internet explorer users need to add it to their favorites)
- you go to twitter.com and start typing your new status message.
- before hitting update, you hit your new bookmarklet!
- any url in there will be shortened and the status message will be altered.
- then you press update and your message is posted!
for all you brizzly users out there, this also works for that. if you wish to see more twitter web clients added, let us know on twitter (@smrls)
please note: you can find the bookmarklet link for your own url shortener by going to the main page of your url shortener and pressing bookmarklet.
