goo.gl bookmarklet Bookmarklet

Use the new goo.gl service without installing a two megabyte toolbar. Simply click the bookmarklet when you're on the page you want to shorten. This uses my gateway for the service, http://ggl-shortener.appspot.com/ .

In my initial version, I forgot to wrap window.location.href in encodeURIComponent . This is fixed in the version at the Source link, but not here.

It works in my Chrome 4.0.242.0 on Kubuntu. Also, this review ( http://blog.arpitnext.com/2009/12/bookmarklet-for-googl-short-url-firefox-opera-chrome-internet-explorer.html ) says it works in Chrome . Also, the version here now includes the encodeURIComponent .

Hi Matt, what do you think of Keith's comment at Techie-Buzz.com ( http://bit.ly/8X81yM )

Many browsers do allow you to copy the URL from the alert box. However, the prompt option is a good idea, and I've made another bookmarklet ( http://www.marklets.com/Bookmarklets/goo.gl+with+prompt+for+copying.aspx ) along that line.
