Readability introduced a bunch of new API features today. The first one I'm looking at is the URL shortener.

When you shorten an URL with Readability, it gives you a short URL that links to a readable version of the page.

There's a new table, system.verbs.apps.readability, with, at this time, one entry-point: readability.shortenUrl.

An example of a URL that's shortened this way: http://rdd.me/bgnyrix1.
