Ya infact I looked on it but my requirement was to generate the short url automatically on creating a new node.So I developed module for it using the tiny url api.

You know what would be sweet? A module that would programatically create the shortened url to the node (as you have done), Put that url in a field limited to 140 characters called "Twitter Post" and. upon submission, post the contents of that field to a pre-selected Twitter account. That would be sweet.
