Same tries, same scripts. And finally I found your article. Thanks for the tip for bit.ly's sidebar bookmarklet, I will use it from now. :) I spent a large part of my day trying to do exactly the same thing. Same tries, same scripts.

The difference is that the code at myopiclunacy.com is provided if you wanted to host/alter the code yourself on your own server and, of course, only uses tinyurl. But thank you for identifying the bit.ly solution. I have to take a look at it. BTW - the bookmarklet you have would only work if the url shortening service exposed a JSON api. Anything else would need some sort of additional server-side connection.
