This gem provides a Ruby interface to the TweetShrink API, as well as a shell command that can
be used as a filter for your favorite text editor.
Tweetshrink tries its very best to fit your text within the harsh constraints of a tweet by replacing common phrases and words with shorter representations. Kind of like running your new text through the dryer or sending it to fat camp.
rake gem
gem install pkg/tweetshrink-0.0.1.gem
