I started a little package to wrap the bit.ly URL shortening API in Smalltalk. It's simple enough to have no dependencies, and works in Pharo and Squeak trunk. You need a free bit.ly account to use the API. See BitLyInfo and BitLy class comments, and the specs for more info. bitLy := BitLy forUser: 'myUsername' withApiKey: 'myApiKey'. bitLy shorten: 'http://google.com'. "Returns Url: http://bit.ly/h1Bpyx" Enjoy. Sean
