Firefox extension

Our friends at Social Whale created an extension which you can use to shorten urls and upload images with one click. Check it out here or here.


API

We also have a very simple Application Programming Interface to use with your twitter apps. To use the API just use the following request pattern:
http://twt.gs/?url=LONG_URL&user=TWITTER_USERNAME&pass=TWITTER_PASSWORD&prefuri=CUSTOM_ALIAS
replace the above capital words with your actual data. The last one (prefuri) is optional. If everything goes fine you will receive a header 200 OK and the short url. Otherwise a 400 header is returned along with an error description.
