Goo.gl URL shortener bookmarklet

I know there are already a bunch of tools for doing this same thing, but I’m a big google fanboi. The nice thing about goo.gl is they have an API which makes accessing the shortener easy. Matthew Flashen already wrote some JS for a bookmarklet for this. You just save that into your bookmarks, I saved it to my Delicious bookmarks, and you can call it on whatever URL. It alerts you the shortened URL and just copy and paste from there. Sweet!
