If drag your URL, presses f12 (while dragging) and drops it onto the wigdet, you get it shrunken, and copied to your clipboard..

Good idea... though not sure I would want to go to Dashboard every time I wanted a tinyurl. Still, good to have options on how to do something - and since your product is free, it certainly is well worth the price. :)

You can do much the same by creating a bookmark with this rather long and annoying URL (works in Safari, at least):

javascript:var%20clickURL=(self.clickURL)?self.clickURL:location.href;%20var%20clickTitle=(self.clickTitle)?self.clickTitle:document.title;%20void(open('http://snipurl.com/q.do?link='+escape(clickURL)+'&title='+clickTitle,'click','height=393,width=393,title=no,location=no,scrollbars=yes,menubars=no,toolbars=no,resizable=yes'));
