10.6: Create a tri.im URL shortening Service
Authored by: randyharris on Sep 22, '09 03:41:38PM

I tried the Ruby code, created a service with the Run Shell Script option in Automator with the line for using TinyURL, and I saved the service as TinyURL. Also, I have selected the "Replaces selected text" box up at the top of Automator.


It works! Awesome, I've sorely missed the TinyURL service from pre Snow Leopard.

One thing, how can I modify the Shell Script to not just replace the text, but also copy it into the clipboard? I like the replace feature, but also would like to be able to paste it for some applications.

Thanks
