gbitly-applet is an applet for Gnome which enables creation of short urls without logging into bit.ly. Its still in its development stage but alpha version is available.
How it works: you will need to right click your Gnome panel, select "Add to Panel" and add gbitly-applet, then right clicking the applet you will see a form in which you must fill in the long URL which you want to get shortened. Also, the applet automatically detects a long URL you previously copied (from the clipboard) and adds it to the long URL field.

To install it is pretty easy. First, make sure you have libcurl-devel,panel-applet-devel and gtk-devel installed. For Ubuntu:
To make a bit.ly account, go to http://bit.ly/account/register?rd=/ and then get your API key from: http://bit.ly/account/ then copy the API key and paste on the API key in preferences of the applet.
