I’ve been working on a few applications were I’ve been using TinyURL a lot. So, I thought I’d create a library for .NET that contains functions for the most popular URL Shorten-er sites.
Function TinyURL
Function TimesURL
Function DoiopURL
Function MemURL
Function DwarfURL
Function SnipURL
Function ShorlURL
Function LoajURL
Function BitlyURL
Function IsGdURL
Function SixURL
Function TightURL
Function UrlXURL
Function YepItURL
Total there are 14 function that all server the same purpose. It’s really a personal preference as to what service you want to use. Each function accepts 1 overload and returns a single String.
Example:
dim sTest As String = TimesURL(sURL)
The library will be available soon. Any interest in this or ideas please leave a comment.
Hello, I’ve made a AS3 library that do exactly what you’re trying to do:

Good luck and good work!

Thanks for the Good Luck. I’ve got most of the functionality working. Just a few of the more difficult providers are giving me trouble.

I’ve just found another two services:
http://ow.ly/
http://jijr.com/
That’s awesome. I’ll be sure to add those to my library.
It seems that we have the same interests, I also did a Gravatar implementation
http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/package/4227.html
My Gravatar implementation is very sloppy. I through it together in a few minutes to show a few people how to do it. I’m working on a much better version right now. The first version was a control. The ones I’m getting ready to release is a library that outputs the avatar using the Image Stream. Will support borders, rotations, fades, mouse over/in/out/click events,etc. Will also support image arrays for loading multiple gravatars at a time, for a listbox or combobox maybe.
It’s great to see some unique content and a good quality blog for once, actually I would be very interested in doing a link exchange with you.
i think i’m going to add this to my library! thanks
is http://ow.ly/ working? page is not loading for me.
