I recently started using bit.ly for storing my bookmarks instead of delicious. While bit.ly isn’t entirely ready to be a bookmarking service for everyone, it does have some cool features, such as a public history, and saves me a hop for sites that I want to bookmark plus need a short URL in order to tweet.
In order to facilitate my new, higher volume, usage of bit.ly, I wrote a little bookmarklet hack that throws the current page into bit.ly and alerts back the shortened URL in case I need it.
I put together this form that will let anyone take advantage of the hack. You’ll just need to input your user name and bit.ly API key. Then you never have to worry about logging in again. Enjoy.
