So I was wondering, when I am looking at a page and I wanna send the link to a friend, I hit p and then scroll to "send address" and I choose who and how.

Problem is, I always get the long url. This is annoying for sending the link via sms. Does anyone know of a way to have the addy automatically trimmed or bityl'd?

Search for Bit.lify in Google. The first entry is a BB app that does exactly that.

Hey thx a bunch. So I've got it installed, but I can't seem to get it to work. There is just a screen to put in a user or do it anonymously, but either way when I try to send a page it doesn't happen. There isn't a "send to bitlify" option, nor does it kick in automatically

Annnnnnd. I just saw the new option in the menu lol. I would prefer it be in the "send" dialog, or maybe another hotkey. But this will work. Thanks so much

One questiom though. There isn't a "sign in" option on the screen, so does it automatically use my bitly account?

Also, it doesn't really work when I do sms. But email works fine, and so does copying. Thx a bunch again

I think it just adds a dialog to the browser menu that lets you send whatever page you are on by SMS, MMS, Email, or just copy it to the clipboard. I don't have an account so I didn't enter a username, but I assume that if you entered a username and password and unchecked the "anonymous" box, it would go to your bit.ly account.

I haven't really played with it too much, I just installed it in an attempt to answer your question

[unclebanglin]

ha well thx for letting me know. i've used it a few times and i think it's a good solution

[unclebanglin]

I can't get it to work with my account. It says "you must be authenticated to use shorten" everytime I try to use it

I'm trying to find an app that shortens Youtube url's and i tried this bit.lify app but it keeps saying download SocialScope! does anyone know of an app that shortens url's?

Try Shorten URL Pro.
This is by far the best URL shortener (if that's a word) I've come across.
The ShadyUrl function is amazing! Fun stuff. Random every time...
However, it will set yo back $2.

Use Shorten URL Pro to shorten urls in many ways! You can shorten an url with over 10 different services / websites. It is as easy as using the browser menu item from Shorten URL Pro, selecting a service and copy the url to the clipboard or send it to an email address.

You can also shorten your url with shadyurl.com which causes you to get a “shady” url which is fun to send to friends!

Features:
- A menu item will be placed in the browser menu
- Shorten your url with: tinyurl.com, bit.ly, shadyurl.com, u2s.in, bitly.nl, cc.st, clicky.me, is.gd, cuthut.com, itshrunk.com
- Copy the url to the clipboard
- Send the url by email

Hope this helps.

Try https://accounts.google.com/ServiceL...e=true&go=true in the BlackBerry browser. It is Google's URL shortener. I bookmarked it.

This is the pretty much the app you are after. Best of all it is free.

Gadzone Mobile � App : Copy Google Link – Goo.gl

I use to use Bit.ly until it was removed and replaced with SocialScope, but I found the Copy Google Link application just as good.
