In case you haven’t heard, Ricardo Quesada has updated the great Cocos2d for iPhone project to version 0.99.3. I have updated my offline API reference Adobe AIR app with documentation for this newly release version.

I’ve recently got some time to make an update for DropShorty. There was an issue discovered by @Kenty, in which a custom folder location was not properly working. This has apparently been fixed, please report any issues in the comments section of the page.

Also, a few people have been requesting other URL shortening services – which is great. I’ve added support for Goo.gl and kl.am. If there are others you’d like to see, please feel free to contact me.

Announcing DropShorty, a small Mac OSX droplet that provides a simple drag and drop interface to the great DropBox file-sharing service and short URL services like Bit.ly and TinyURL etc.

DropShorty was DropBitly

I decided DropBitly would benefit from additonal services other than Bit.ly.

The problem:

Currently DropBox’s public folder URLs are long. Why is this bad? Say you want to share a file via a social network like Twitter, or Facebook? DropShorty will copy a file to your DropBox folder and then get a short URL from a service of your choosing.

Don’t see your favorite service?

Just let me know and I can add it to the program! Feel free to leave a comment or e-mail me.

Announcing my first piece of Cocoa software: DropBitly. It’s a simple app that copies a file to your Dropbox public folder and then shortens the public URL with Bit.ly.

If anyone is interested, I was thinking about expanding it to use other URL shortening services like tinyURL.

Right now it’s Mac-only (10.5+), but if there’s interest I really need to start learning some .NET (Windows).
