Adding shorten URL to QR code generation

[jensharp]

I have query string parameters in the link I use to create a QR code, but these parameters are truncated when an Android user uses the camera app to read the code. I can circumvent this by turning the link into a shortened URL. Is there another parameter I could pass or something to the QR code generator that would first shorten the link I submit via the text variable, then turn it into the QR image? I realize this would require either a database to house the shortcut, or could it use tinyurl.com or tiny.cc ? This would be a super cool addition and make the images less busy, more readable as well! Just an idea for a great feature!

This is a great idea. I already have most of the URL shortening infrastructure because QuickChart has a shorturl option for the chart rendering service. I'll look into providing this for QR as well.
