So I created a bookmark on my bookmarks bar in Safari which opens bit.ly in a new window and passes the current page I am on as a parameter. The net effect is that most of the work is done for me when the window opens. The JavaScript bookmark is:
javascript:window.open('http://bit.ly/?url='+location.href);
This approach will probably work with other shorteners as well, and the above shortcut should work in any browser.
