I used to run an IRC robot called shorten that'd scan the channels it was on for long URLs and shorten them using Metamark:http://metamark.net/
Not using IRC I'd forget to keep it running, so it's not much use.
If you'd like to volunteer to run it, send me a mail and I'll point you to the code. :-)
update - Tod McQuillin foolishly generously volunteered. Thanks Tod!

Jim Winstead tells
the sale of blo.gs has been completed, and i'm proud to announce that yahoo! has acquired the service. as of right now, give or take a few minutes, yahoo! is running blo.gs.
this is the sort of good home that i was looking for - yahoo! obviously has the resources to run and improve blo.gs in pace with the incredible growth of blogs (and syndication in general), and in talking with them it was also clear that we had some of the same vision for the future of the service and the ping/notification infrastructure
Congratulations Jim.
