Shorten and expand URLs with TinyW.in and upload images and screenshots to Phota.me
Description
TWurl is an extension to facilitate the use of TinyW.in and several other URL shortening services. A short URL can be generated for any web page, using the user’s preferred shortening service. The short URL is automatically copied to the clipboard to paste into other applications.
TWurl also automatically expands short URLs on any page, replacing the target URL with the original URL and displays the page title as a tooltip. The URL expansion is provided by LongURL.org, which handles links from more than 200 services.
Features
Shorten URLs with one-click operation (the shortened URL is automatically copied to clipboard).
Supports login credentials (for services like bit.ly and Cligs).
Scans web pages for short URLs and automatically updates the target URL. The title of the website is displayed as a tooltip when available.
Supports dynamically updated (AJAX) websites (eg. twitter.com) without having to refresh the page.
Supports right clicking on a link to shorten it.
Allow you to upload images from websites and Chrome screenshot to Phota.me
Optionally displays QR codes and allows url customization when shortening URLs with TinyW.in
TWurl also supports all the popular services such as bit.ly, goo.gl, is.gd, TinyURL, and more to be added upon request. The full list of supported services can be found here:

Change Log:
Version 2.2.0
Added notifications during Phota uploads. Now you know that the upload is running in the background.
Version 2.1.0
Moved the Fetch and Upload to Phota function back to a single function. TWurl now tries to have Phota fetch the file and if it fails uploads from the browser.
Fixed a defect that caused screenshots (especially PNG) to fail on upload. They are now converted to a file and uploaded.
v2.0.0
Significant rewrite/cleanup of the extension code to comply with Google's new extension manifest version 2 api and rules.
Squashed a bug that allowed only the first link shortened on a page via the right click context menu to work correctly.
Renamed the existing "Upload to Phota" to "Fetch Image w/ Phota" and added new code to "Upload to Phota" which pulls the image from the browser cache and uploads it.
v1.5.1
Changed upload to Phota from a GET to a POST operation to help with those behind content filters.
v1.5.0
Fixed support for goo.gl and added overall framework support for shorteners that require JSON.

You can now send Chrome tab screenshots to Phota.me as JPG or PNG.

Related to Phota upload - fixed issues with right clicking directly on images.
v1.3.2
Added rudamentary support for uploading images to Phota.me (right click on the link or image)
v1.3.0
Added the ability to add custom short links. Enable the setting in options for the TinyW.in url shortener.
v1.2.0

v1.1.2
Fix an issue where using advanced options would break shortening URLs.
v1.1.1
Fixed a typo.
v1.1.0
Added TinyW.in QR code support. You can now enable the display of QR codes when shorting URLs.

- (2019-09-03) k knock: I thought that it was great; quick and easy to use. I embedded may of their shortcuts in my correspondences and documents. Now nothing works, (for more than a week now) its like their server is offline and I will have do a tremendous amount of work to re-find all of the websites that I had shortened.

- (2019-04-15) John R. Sowash: Simple URL shortener with minimal to no setup. Can be customized if desired. After you install the extension, make sure you refresh the page you are trying to shorten!

- (2018-04-12) Yvonne Shelby: I had to find an alternative to a much more popular one, since goo.gl is stopping their shortening services. The shortener and QR maker were easy to use!

- (2012-05-23) Very great and useful app! Thanks for continuing where ChromeMUSE left off. The only thing I don't particularly like is the icon in the address bar.
