RubyURL-friendly library
Vincent Foley-Bourgon has just released ShortURL.
From his post:
You can install it with RubyGems:
$ gem install -r shorturl
or you can go to http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=732 and download
the tar.bz2 archive.
Usage is very simple, here's a sample irb session:
>> require "rubygems"
=> true
>> require "shorturl"
=> false
>> ShortURL.shorten("http://groups-beta.google.com/group/comp.lang.ruby")
=> "http://rubyurl.com/eiRDm"
>> ShortURL.shorten("http://groups-beta.google.com/group/comp.lang.ruby", :tinyurl)
=> "http://tinyurl.com/bfuu2"
On that note, RubyURL is almost at 1,000 unique URLs!
