New module to shorten Gallery's album and item links using bit.ly's URL shortening service. By itself, it's not terribly useful, but it integrates with the Twitter module to shorten Gallery URLs in tweets. Documentation, download link, and configuration instructions: -- |

You can make the link when you create an album?

Probably. This should probably be enabled as a module option so that admins can choose the default link creation behavior. I've added this to the module's Roadmap for the next version.

Did you also enter your bit.ly username? I only ask because you did not mention saving it along with the bit.ly API key.
The fsockopen() call on 149 is failing. Are you running any other modules which use fsockopen to communicate with external servers, perhaps Akismet or reCaptcha? Do they work?

If you want a more automated kind of deal, I just use Twitterfeed to read my gallery's RSS Feed and then it tweets out new photos I put up and I've got Twitterfeed configured to use my Bit.ly information to create the short links. I do upload my photos to a hidden test album first where I can get the description, tags, and all that squared away first. I then move it to the album where it belongs so Twitterfeed can pick it up.
Anyway, food for thought.
I may look at this bit.ly module though as I've been considering working on a Twitter app for my gallery so that it says the tweets are coming from my gallery and not Twitterfeed... which I see is what the Twitter module does. LOL. Will have to check them both out then.
Update: Installed both the Twitter Module and this one and it all works great. Thanks for the module!

Twitterfeed + G3 RSS looks like a great way to Tweet everything uploaded to Gallery. The bit.ly + Twitter module allows you to selectively Tweet your Gallery items.
