turl – Mac Command Line tool for creating smaller URLs

with 2 comments

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.

Source is written in Objective-C and released under an MIT License.

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

  1. Thanks, this is cool. The more info link is broken — it looks like it’s part mikechambers.com and part google code…
