ShortURL 0.8.4 released

Ruby
1

Hello all!

Vincent F. was kind enough to let me start maintaining the ShortURL
gem, which means that I was able to fix the support for RubyURL today
and release a new gem.

$ gem install shorturl

This will give you the ShortURL library, which currently supports over
20 URL-shortening services. RubyURL.com is the default service that it
works with.

require ‘rubygems’
require ‘shorturl’

ShortURL.shorten( ‘http://planetargon.com’ )
ShortURL.shorten( ‘http://planetargon.com’, :tinyurl )

Additionally, this gem provides a command-line interface, which will
allow you to generate short URLs.

shorturl http://rubyforge.org

http://rubyurl.com/gtT

shorturl http://rubyforge.org moourl

          http://moourl.com/huyk6

shorturl http://rubyforge.org urltea

http://urltea.com/2hek

For more information, visit the project on RubyForge.

Additionally, if you’re using QuickSilver on OSX, here is a way to use
RubyURL.com through QuickSilver.

Cheers,
Robby
