TinyURL alternative

RubyURL » Keep it short (and sweet)

It also has a simple API for integrating into your site for whatever purpose. Sort of like Twitter automatically shortens URL's with TinyURL.

maybe you dont like tinyurl, maybe you like the way one of the other ones sound. personal preference, maybe? it does not really matter as long as it does what you want it to do.
