I Like this thought. I take this would be done in conjunction with issue 80?

How about just compacting the URL period?

Compacted-url == A url created by tinyurl, is.gd, or any other url compaction
service.
Not sure about anyone else, but a "Compacted-url" does not seem very
user-friendly to me.
We could compact the url by default, but I would then think that we should
provide a
way to view the true url for verification by the writer -- I have copied too
many
incomplete or incorrect urls in the past and will do so again.
My vote would be to leave the compaction until it is needed. If the author
does not
write enough to require the url to be compacted, then a "Compacted-url" is not
burned
if it is not needed.
The other option is to compact immediately, provide a way for the author to
view the
original url. The upside of the second approach is the author has more room to
work
with, if needed, and we could place the original url back into the string if the
author leaves enough space (Potentially burning a "Compacted-url" in the
process).
Just my thoughts.
Comments? Anyone?

I was going to write a patch for this but see you are already on it!
With regard to "when to compact". I would guess that most, if not all URLs
that you
would WANT to compact, will be pasted in (rather than typed). So, what do you
think
to doing compaction "On Paste"? More specifically on Ctrl+Shift+V rather than
Ctrl+V? i.e. it would be a kind of Paste Special.

I agree with Ben. We could shorten the URL's on the fly when the message is
longer
than 140 characters. And maybe have a setting in options to always shorten URLs
longer than x.
I actually implemented this so have to code if you want to.

@bramveenhof - Can you attach a patch? I think it makes sense to just compact
when
the full tweet would be longer than 140 characters as the default behavior,
since
that's what Witty does now. You could add other configuration options, but I'd
start
with that behavior.

Here is the patch which does just that. Shorten URLs if the tweet is longer
than 140
characters after you stopped typing for 2 seconds. I'm going to look at the
actual
URLShorteningService now.

Yes, please add this functionality. It is hard for me to use Witty as my
primary
Twitter client when it doesn't auto-shorten. I want it to either auto-shorten,
or
have a button right next to the Update button that lets me shorten and insert a
URL.

Checked in a couple of tweaks - autodetect URL's when pasted so we don't
require
hitting spacebar. Also modified the typed URL case to simplify it a bit, but
mostly
because my typed URL's weren't being shortened with the previous code.
