Shorten URL version: 0.3.6

When I'm trying to shorten URL using services bit.ly or j.mp, warning message 
box appears with one word "FAIL!". And nothing more happens.. Some other 
services (ex. TinyURL) works great and fast.

I reproduced error by hands using string from source code that ShortenURL uses 
for j.mp and bit.ly and here is return from server:
RATE_LIMIT_EXCEED

Could you make per-service settings with api key and etc? Maybe leave default, 
but add feature to override with users own credentials?

I also have this problem for Firefox 4. An error description would be nice 
instead of "FAIL!".

If you have bit.ly account:
1. login to http://bit.ly/a/account
2. from there, copy your API key
3. type 'about:config' in URL bar and press Enter
4. type 'api.bit.ly' in Filter textbox
5. double click the entry item to edit and replace 
R_9781b0da8391ffe5de4f63c4205ed372 with your API key

Sorry for the inconvinience.
I will add user option in the future to use their own API keys
