DropBitly: A Dropbox / Bit.ly Mashup App
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).

I do not use online file-sharing services (yet)but this looks cool. Congrats on your first Cocoa software.
I do think that adding multiple URL shortener options is a good thought. Do it.
Regarding Windows:
.NET is really easy to learn. Go for it! For the record, Visual Basic and C# are essentially the same languages with drastically different syntax, save a few complex things. (Which are beyond me, but I’ve heard that there are subtle differences.) Microsoft has their own code-suggest feature which makes learning the languages easier.
Good luck!
