Ah, hugeurl makes the links too long for tweets though, and also it doesn't have an API like this one does! ;)
What we need is an API which lets us somehow shorten our hugeurls...
I don't know since when hugeurl is around, but I built http://maul.ubermutant.net/ in 2004 as a joke on TinyURL, without knowing hugeurl or anything like it. Surprisingly, it seems to still work ;)
