I've written about this a couple of times before.
After some suggestions from Brett at Circle Six Design, I've re-revisited the script and eliminated the need for anything but the Applescript itself.

Using a Ruby script I found here as the foundation, I whipped up a quick and dirty Applescript to make TinyURLs for my juhu/jaiku updates.
When I say "quick and dirty", I mean it (I didn't feel like building it as a self-contained mini-app).
It passes a given web address to TinyURL, then copies the converted URL to the clipboard for pasting to juhu.
The Ruby script is in my home directory and the Applescript is in juhu's Applescript directory (thus, it's accessible from the menubar when juhu is the active application).
