shorten: Create an "OhBy" code for some content

In hrbrmstr/ohby: Tools to Work with the 'OhBy' Shortening Service

Description

What is "oh by"? "oh by" is a simple primitive that you can use to condense information. It is, sort of, a combination of a pastebin-style site and a URL shortener. The real utility are the easily recognizable codes, prefixed with "0x".

Usage

shorten(content, expiration = "never", visibility = c("public", "private"),
  redirect = FALSE)

Arguments

content	up to 4096 bytes of content, optionally a URL
expiration	either "never" or a number followed by one of m h D W M Y for minute, hour, Day, Week, Month, Year.
visibility	either "public" or "private". The public codes are indexable by search engines
redirect	if content is a URL, then set this to TRUE to have it behave like a URL shortenter.

Examples

shorten("http://rud.is/b")
shorten("The quick, brown fox jumps over the lazy dog")
