ShortenMobile


Automatically shortens urls for Twitter, etc. in background

Description:
ShortenMobile watches the clipboard of the device and automatically shortens the urls for you. The application can be set to run at start up and hides in the background. I developed this application cause of the lack of this functionality in HTC Peep.

Currently implemented url shortening services:
bit.ly
tinyurl.com
snipurl.com
is.gd

How to use:
Install the cab file
Open ShortenMobile from StartMenu
Activate the checkbox "Run at startup"
Click on Hide-Softkey
Copy any url (including "http://" at the beginning) to the clipboard
The shortened url is available in the clipboard after the confirmation dialog has been shown

Requirements:
Microsoft .NET Compact Framework 3.5
