Ok, this is exciting. My Consolarium/Glow Toolbars are now in beta. New features include a login manager which automates/remembers you Glow login and automatic URL shortening using the glo.li service.

Making Glow Better with glo.li
I’ve been busy hacking together some code to allow GlowBlog users and Glow users to access glo.li to make their own short urls. We all know how long Glow urls can be and wouldn’t it be great if there was a web part which automatically generated a short glo.li address for any page that it was added to?
URL shortening for the masses?
Today in about 15 minutes I set up my own URL shortening service using http://bit.ly/pro. This free service from the guys at bit.ly allows me to use a custom short domain for any and all shortened URLs I create using their service. I can also use my API key with apps like Seesmic on Android and TweetDeck on iPhone to automatically create my own shortened URLs on those platforms.
