Have you ever been in Safari on your iPhone and wanted to share a link on Twitter, Facebook or email it to one of your friends? Squeezer allows you to use use one of four URL shortening services to shorten a URL and then share it with friends.
Shortening a URL in squeezer is simple; copy the URL you want to shorten, choose which service you want to use, then click Squeeze It!. Clicking the shortened URL will copy it to your clipboard so you can paste it where you want, or you can send it to Facebook, Twitter, Email it, or text it to someone.
I had no problems using any of the shortening services and the share links are great for quickly sending it to Facebook or Twitter. A couple of things I would like to see improved though. Firstly, when you choose SMS all it does it open a new message window, but it doesn’t paste the URL automatically. Secondly, I would like to see a bookmarklet implemented so I could use that to open Sqeezer from Safari. (I know this can be done, as my Twitter client, Twitterena Pro has this functionality).
Squeezer is a nicely built app that works well. If it had the bookmarklet option, I would be using it as my only shortening tool.
