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.
