When converting the Headlines theme to EE I needed something that could turn the entry links into shortened URLs for tweeting so I made this module:

http://github.com/bjornbjorn/Bitly-for-EE

You bitlyfy any URL like this:

{exp:bitly bitly_login='YOUR_BITLY_LOGIN' bitly_api_key='YOUR_BITLY_API_KEY' url='http://www.verylonkurlhere.com/blabka-blabla-blabla'}

An additional feature with Bitly for EE is that it will cache the shortened URLs so that the bit.ly API is only contacted once for every unique URL.

Haven’t tested but looked at the code - learning much from just looking!

Great idea :D
