Support for bit.ly accounts (not just bit.ly shortening)

I think this is a good idea. Some tweeters would find the tracking ability in bit.ly very useful. Great idea @simulacrum.

Another one for this idea here. Would like to use my own tr.im account.

+1 I would love this too.

This is a must have.

I came here to submit this idea myself. It's a must-have!

Thank god this is coming. This is one of the major things I'm looking for in this app.

Something I have done on Tweetr (my twitter client) is that when you paste a URL it AUTOMATICALLY shortens it.

This design pattern works like this.

1. Paste URL, if it has http (then find this URL and shorten it with the selected service.
2. Because this is asynchronies the user can cancel or reverse the shortening by pressing "command+z" (you need a visual element to say this)
3. Shortening should use the default service select in the drop down.

OR. Simply "command+option+v" to paste a URL and auto shorten it?

Thanks guys, but am pretty amazed at the quality of Tweetie.

John.

Just the same as previous requests. Please consider the popular hootsuite

Yes, having the tracking from Bit.ly is very useful, so having that work with an actual Bit.ly account would be great,

+1 for both tr.im & bit.ly tracking.

I'd also love inclusion of HootSuite's ow.ly shortening service.

bit.ly user api should be implemented. however, url shorteners with a frame/topbar like ow.ly definitely sucks. please do not consider to implement such services. they are waste of time.

+1 for this, as my twitter accounts are manly used for posting links to my blog or site it'd be good to track hits.

bit.ly has an "import URLs from before I had an account" but it doesn't appear to import Tweetie URLs.

YES, PLEASE!
A huge +1 for this!

Yes, this would be amazing. I've got this API key. Let me use it!

100% agreement. The shortening built in to Tweetie is so tantalizing, but wasted on me personally due to the lack of this feature. Also, each Twitter account should be able to have it's own bit.ly account.

I've started using tr.im, as they've added a feature that will scan twitter feeds for tr.im urls, and will add them to your tr.im account automatically.

Well, tr.im is now done, so this functionality would be really great.

Would love to see this for Bit.ly.

I was going to post this when I realized that someone else already did. It took a little while to type so I'll post it as a reply to the original topic.

Bit.ly (link shortening service) provides real-time link tracking for all links shortened through a logged in account. When you use the Shorten with bit.ly bookmarklet, the link is tracked so you can see how many clicks it gets and where the visitors are coming from. Tweetie already has link shortening through bit.ly but does not support the use of an API key to link Tweetie with your bit.ly account. For a blogger that wants to keep track of page views, this would be a really cool feature. An example of API implementation is under the advanced options section when creating a Twitterfeed at http://twitterfeed.com/

any updates on this?

What we do know is that it's gonna be the f*cking sh*t.

And that it will not be a piece of f*cking sh*t

I asked about the beta for the mac version

how about for the iPhone version?

Awesome developers:
This is A must have!

Please consider.
Thanks

now that bit.ly created j.mp, I hope support for this is added as well

Any idea when this new update is going to be? Could really do with it.

Tweetie is the "Duke Nukem Forever" of Twitter clients.
