I don't know if this fits into the heybuddy philosophy of being a lean mean denting machine but....
it would be nice if pasted url's could be shortened automatically.
Of course I have absolutely no idea how to do this. I imagine at some point the dent would need to be parsed for urls and then shortened. Of course we run into the character limit for dents. At present, heybuddy stops adding characters after 140 characters. So if a dent hits 140 characters maybe it could be checked for urls. If there are any present, then they could be shortened automatically and users could be given the option of continuing to enter text or sending the dent by using 'enter.' This would also mean that heybuddy would need another configuration option to support different url shortening services.
Absolutely. I love heybuddy but it's a real mess to copy long urls to - let's say - ur1.ca and to copy the shortened url back. So having that done automatically would be a great improvement!
