Binary package hint: gwibber
In the gwibber-preferences dialog on the Messages tab, there is a dropdown for selecting a URL shortening service. According to the tr.im website at http://tr.im/, the service is closing down and shortening requests have already been disabled via the website. The tr.im API will be shut down at the end of 2010. tr.im should be removed from the list of available URL shortening services as it will no longer be operational when Ubuntu 9.10 and 10.04 are still supported, resulting in potential user problems if they attempt to use the option for tr.im after 2010.
Quote from tr.im website:
If you have tr.im embedded within any software please remove it. We would never just turn tr.im off and affect installed software and users unaware, but we would like to shut down the API and redirection service by the end of 2010, from the time of this writing, April 2010. This should give everyone plenty of time to transition to other services that can economically justify operating a URL shortener, or don't have the volume for this to be problem.
