Tweet it w BitLy.scpt (18 KB)

As I was reading the news with Netnewswire today, I thought it'd be
nice to tweet a news item that I wanted to share.

Of course a quick search brought me to a coder named Tinu's excellent
script to do just that.

Unfortunately, I'm a big bit.ly user and his script didn't use bit.ly
as the url shorten service so I modified his script to use bit.ly
authentication and history.

How nice to be able to send twitter messages from netnewswire and then
check on their shortened URLs in my bit.ly dashboard.

Here's the script in case you are a netnewswire who is also a user of
bit.ly as I am. :-)

How do you use it?

+++
--usage enter your bit.ly login and api_key in the second and third
lines of the script
--save to ~/Library/Application Support/NetNewsWire/Scripts
--Now you can access the script from the scripts menu on NetNewsWire.

+++

Hat tip to tinu at http://bit.ly/a4wfBB for giving me the base to build upon.
