I have just released a simple Mac OS X app named “turl”, that provides a command line / shell interface to online URL shortening services (including urltea.com and tinyurl.com).

Usage is pretty simple:

turl URL

For example:

turl http://www.mikechambers.com/blog/

will create:

http://urltea.com/g88

There are a number of other options, including the ability to specify which URL service is used.

You can find more information, as well as download the app and source code from the turl google code project page.
