pbtweet dev 1.5 0073 builds bit.ly short link

Today, pbtweet dev 1.5 0073 is uploaded. Change log is following.
  1. Delay from checking protected user problem is solved.
  2. Auto url shorten with using bit.ly feature is added.
  3. (via @[user_id]) style is changed into (via @[user_id] http://bit.ly/[alias]) style.
  4. tweetphoto thumbnail for pic.gd link is supported.
In this version, I've changed 2 large part of pbtweet. 1st is bit.ly shorten and 2nd is via style changed.

1st bit.ly shorten link builder is only adding feature on pbtweet. I decided not to add any user interface for it. In this first implementation, pbtweet makes following url to be shorten automatically. Long and un-supported service URL is processed after type, paste or RT/via quoting.
  • longer than 30 characters
  • not shorten URL which supported by pbtweet
  • not media service URL supported by pbtweet

2nd via style change is for future when ReTweeting is supported officially by Twitter. After official RT world, classic current RT style is redundant with official style then I'll make current RT button of pbtweet to mean smaller position on interface. Aside of RT, via with permalink of tweet status might be more important.

Older: [quote string] (via @[user_id]) [additional comment]
New: [quote string or your edited text] (via @[user_id] [bit.ly shorten URL for permalink]

Older example: pbtweet 1.5 dev is uploaded (via @infopbtweet) Hola!
New style example: pbtweet 1.5 dev comes! (via @infopbtweet http://bit.ly/ddwww)

I hate no way to access original tweets.

Enjoy pbtweet!
