A couple of days ago I saw Bart Mroz testing out a new service that lets you post your images directly to Flickr via Tweetie 2. It’s a great idea, but it seems like there’s an unnecessary 3rd party in there. Flickr already has the http://flic.kr/ short URL, so it seems like you should be able to post your images to Flickr and receive the official short URL for that image.
Well, that’s exactly what my Flickr/Tweetie Bridge does. Just set it up, plug the URL into Tweetie, and you can start uploading/shortening with Flickr. It hasn’t been very heavily tested, but it’s working fine for me. Check out the 0.1 release. It’s PHP5-only, and released under GPL.
Let me know if you come across any bugs, or have feature requests.
