Short Menu is a simple and low-key OS X application designed to make URL shortening fun. It's in your menu bar, so you can access it anytime! Short Menu has a large selection of URL services and it's very easy to use.
Short Menu automatically takes the URL from your clipboard. You only have to click one button, then you've shortened your URL and your short URL is copied to your clipboard!
Short Menu sends automatically Growl Notifications to you which are showing your new URL.
