Maybe you could just polish up the command-line tool?

For example, it might be 'nice' if it had some basic option handling. I
tried it for the first time with $ shorurl --help and it came back with
the shorturl for http://--help/

Also something like $ shorturl --help lns returns "nil" rather than the
wholesome goodness of a more digestible error message...
