Thurly is a plug-in for Safari that allows you to both shorten URLs in a snap as well as post directly to Twitter without ever leaving your browser window.
With a quick keyboard shortcut (Command-Control-T) Thurly springs to life automatically shortening the URL of the web page you are on.
From there you can copy the shortened URL out to use elsewhere. Paste it into emails, forums posts, blog entries and much more.

Version 2.0:
Thurly 2.0 may seem like a step backward at this point. In a way it is. But it is laying the groundwork to produce Thurly in an official plug-in environment, which is something that has not been available before Safari 5. We plan on adding some of the features that were present in Thurly before back into the plug-in, but for now version 2.0 will focus simply on URL shortening.
Requirements

What a GREAT IDEA! I'm going to download this one and install. I'm trusting it's going to be a REALLY GREAT add on - based on the incredible quality of products this developer is well know for.
I hope there's an update soon! I have to relaunch Safari, sometimes several times, to get Thurly to show up in the bookmarks menu. Sometimes it shows up in the Delicious menu, then disappears! I've supported this developer and just asking for a update to Snow Leopard please! Thanks!

Thurly allows you to also post to Twitter from the main interface. It populates the Status field with a shortened URL and let's you edit your post as you like. Click "Tweet" or press Command-Enter and your post lands in your Twitter updates.
Registering Thurly is not required. You can use the base features of the plug-in, shortening URLs and posting to Twitter, for free until the cows come home.
We have added some bells and whistles though to make your life easier. Registering allows you to use multiple Twitter accounts, letting you post from different accounts on the fly from the main interface.
We have also built in the option to use a Twitter template. The template let's you set a default message that appears in your Twitter Status field each time your open Thurly. Which can also be overridden at any time.
