Tweetie announced yesterday that there is a simple way to send a URL from Safari to Tweetie when browsing on your mobile device. The bookmarklet makes use of the tweetie: protocol, which in turn tells your device to launch the Tweetie app. There are 9 steps to creating this bookmarklet and they’re all pretty simple.

When you’re browsing in Safari, just bring up the bookmarks option and tap the bookmarklet. You’ll be redirected to the Tweetie app where you’ll select an account (if multiple are present). Once you’ve done that, you’ll be greeted with a pre-shortened URL (compliments of bit.ly). Fill in the rest and away you go. This is something I use quite often with BigTweet, so it’s nice to see there’s a simple way to do it with tools I already have.

Tweetie is available from the App Store for $2.99 [iTunes link]. View more iPhone/iPod apps here.
