Hi everyone,

I am please to announce the release of my second open-source software,
ShortURL[1]. ShortURL is a very simple library to shorten long URLs
using services such as TinyURL and RubyURL. It's so simple that it
consists of a single class and three methods :)

You can install it with RubyGems:

$ gem install -r shorturl

or you can go to http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=732 and download
the tar.bz2 archive.

Usage is very simple, here's a sample irb session:

>> require "rubygems" 
=> true 
>> require "shorturl" 
=> false 
>> ShortURL.shorten("http://groups-beta.google.com/group/comp.lang.ruby") 
=> "http://rubyurl.com/eiRDm" 
>> ShortURL.shorten("http://groups-beta.google.com/group/comp.lang.ruby", :tinyurl) 
=> "http://tinyurl.com/bfuu2"

This is a first release, so I expect many bugs to show up (I should
probably catch more exceptions).
Cheers!

Vincent

P.S: I'm pretty excited, this is my first Ruby software released as a
gem
