Is.gd is my favourite url shortening service. Recently I noticed tunyurls are not tiny anymore due to the fact that Twitter default url shortener is tinyurl.
is.gd has a basic api that can be used to create urls just by clicking a single bookmarklet. This is how i created a bookmarklet:
1. In firefox right-click on the bookmark toolbar and select New Bookmark...
2. Now in the next dialog box enter the following in the Location field:
javascript:location.href="http://is.gd/api.php?longurl="+location.href;

Done! Next time you want to shorten a long url just click on the bookmarklet and you will be greeted with the shortened url. ;)

I think a lot of us will agree to the fact that Nokia is no Apple. iPhone's ability to switch to the available networks seamlessly is something Nokia users can envy. If you are using an S60 handset and have multiple connections available you might have faced the problem of being prompted to select a network whenever you are trying to access certain service that requires connectivity, through some applications.

Here is a work-around. Psiloc connect has developed an application that handles this 'bug' intelligently. First you got download this application and install in your cell (it's a 10 days trial version, though.) and configure the application. Next time you connect, you won't see that irritating prompt anymore.
