    Short URL service has been part of TwitterGadget since day one. Simply highlight the URL and click [ctrl+y]. Boom, URL shortened. Not only that, all shortened URLs, regardless of the service, when moused over in the timeline provide a preview of what their long URL is, without having to click. Good Stuff.
