Sometimes I feel like the a lot of the tiny useful apps for BlackBerry go un-noticed. Well today I’m featuring bit.lify for BlackBerry. I’m sure most of you are familiar with bit.lify or some type of url shortening service. You twitter users probably have a twitter app for BlackBerry with a url shortening tool as well. That’s all well and good if you are posting to twitter, but what if you just want to send a shortened url somewhere else?

Whether you want to fit a link into an SMS, or look tech savvy in an email, you don’t really want to go through the extra steps of using a twitter client to shorten a url, do you? That’s where bit.lify comes in.

Once installed, bit.lify will always be in your browser menu. If you select bit.lify, you will have the option to Email, SMS, PIN, or Copy the url to the clipboard. Its that simple.

Bit.lify is one of those great little apps that I use multiple times a day, without really thinking about. The file size is very small at only 41.7kb. You can download bit.lify from Ubitiquous Systems OTA here.
