goo.gl with prompt for copying Bookmarklet

[Edit Description]

This is an alternative to my other goo.gl bookmarklet, which uses an alert box. This one uses a prompt dialog instead, which may make it easier to copy the URL.

See also my goo.gl Firefox extension, which copies the URL directly to your clipboard at the touch of a button.

Hi Matthew - I've updated my blog post ( http://goo.gl/rZg1 ) to show this new bookmarklet - Thanks for the fix - It works in my Iron Chrome browser now, previously it did not.

Stacy

Abruptly stopped working for me in both Chrome and Iron. The alert-box goo.gl bookmarklet still works though.

Stacy

This is as of 7/11/2010, by the way.

Stacy

On second thought, even the alert box one has stopped working on any page except this one.

I get:
error_message:"Quota exceeded"

Sounds like it's too popular?

Might not be a bad idea to email Matt over at http://ggl-shortener.appspot.com/instructions/
