Hi y’all,
My first jQuery plugin. Your welcome to use it (including commerical), re-code it and provide suggestions, please just keep reference to myself and to Uzbekjon.
It uses the http://bit.ly API so you’ll need your own account and API key. The code format is based on Mike Alsup’s Plugin Development Pattern.

Hey i am looking to make my own url shortener website. If you have any idea about that then plz let me know
There are quite a few URL shortening PHP scripts around. I’ll be writing my own soon enough, can’t see that it would be too difficult.
It’s a nice little pluggin, until you try to use any url w/ an “&”. Encoding required. All other URL work beautifully though.
WOW just what I was searching for. Came here by searching for bit.ly
