Use winr as your default URL shortener with Tweetie for iPhone
Tweetie 2, the excellent iPhone app for Twitter, allows you to use a custom short URL provider. Here are some quick instructions on how to set that up using winr:
- First, you need your winr API key. That way any short URLs you create with Tweetie are linked with your winr account. Just go to http://wi.nr/api/ to retrieve your API key.
- In Tweetie’s settings, navigate to:
“URL Shortening > Custom…” - In the text box that pops up, type this URL:
http://wi.nr/api/shorten?url=%@&api_key=YOUR-API-KEY-GOES-HERE
Make sure to replace “YOUR-API-KEY-GOES-HERE” with your API key.
That’s it!
