I found that Google's API became unreliable since I wrote that post. Here's
the script I use now:
*using terms from* *application* "Quicksilver"
*on* *process text* theURL
*set* shortURL *to* *do shell script* "curl
https://is.gd/create.php -d 'format=simple' -d 'url=" & theURL & "'"
*return* shortURL
*end* *process text*
--Note: For versions of Quicksilver prior to 1.0, remove the
following three lines of code.
*on* *get direct types*
*return* {"Apple URL pasteboard type"}
*end* *get direct types*
*end* *using terms from*
