Everyone has their own favorite URL shortening service. Some like is.gd, some prefer bit.ly, and I own and run a service called Lincr, which I would prefer using. Now, instead of requesting for different URL shortening services to be added to Tweenky, how about a custom URL shortening feature?

Most URL shortening services have a simple API that shortens, something like http://lin.cr/?l=http://averylongurlhere.com&full=1 . Even though all APIs are not the same, they all only take one long URL as a parameter.

A custom URL shortening feature would ask for just two settings:

1) Name, eg. Lincr
2) API URL, eg. http://lin.cr/?l=%s

When used, Tweenky will replace %s with the URL provided for shortening (while posting a tweet), retrieve the shortened version and go about doing business as usual.
