Shorten URLs using Multiple Services in Firefox

with 4 comments

Shorten URL is a Firefox Addon that lets you shorten website URLs from the right click menu. It supports over 15 services (too much, you say?). I’m sure at least someone remotely will find this useful.

To shorten a URL, just right click on the page and choose ‘Shorten this page URL’ from the context menu. The addon also can let you shorten URLs on hyperlinks. The shortened URL is immediately displayed on the address bar and you can also configure the addon to copy it to the clipboard automatically.

  1. Great to see they included tr.im, find they get left out often and I’m a big fan of their service

  2. I’m a heavy user of twitter and make use of these url shortening services very often. My personal favorite is is.gd. If are a ubiquity fan, try out my script for is.gd shortener.
