LinkTweet

I've just cooked up a little hack to easily send links to Twitter.

It's inspired by the TwitterLink app which is neat but asks for your Twitter name and password, which I think you should only tell to Twitter themselves.

Basically you add a bookmarklet which sends the current page to my server, I ask the handy is.gd service to shorten the link, then I send you on to Twitter where the tweet box is pre-filled with the is.gd link.

I plan to mainly use it from my iPhone, since it is devoid of copy and paste.
