Tweetie 2.0 Custom URL Shortening

Tweetie 2.0 for iPhone came out recently and has a nice feature for specifying your own URL shortening service, like one that uses ButteredURLs. It's easy enough, might want to email yourself the API key from your install of ButteredURLs or visit it on the device. Then you can copy & paste it into the "Custom" option for URL shortening services in Tweetie's settings. You can view the API key when you're at the admin area.

The URL should look a little like this, replacing APIKEY with your own key:

http://example.com/-/?api=APIKEY&url=%@

Tweetie will replace %@ with the URL it's shortening. For more details on the custom shortening feature of Tweetie 2.0, see the developer page about it.
