Short Copy Extension

A very simple Chrome extension which enables you to copy the current url, and have it quickly shortened, in one easy key combination.

Perfect if you're just like me, and you hate yourself when you share a huge 100+ character URL with someone. Keep it clean, keep it simple. Alt+Shift+C.


[UPDATE] Switched to using is.gd due to their brilliantly simple API.
