Hi Adam,
By default it is a no-op.
You need to configure which shortening method to use (randomised and bit.ly<http://bit.ly> built in) via sakai.properties. There is the full reference here:
https://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/SHRTURL/Home
But what you want is this:
## RANDOMISED
# Uncomment this to use the built in URL randomiser/shortener (recommended)
#shortenedurl.implementation=org.sakaiproject.shortenedurl.api.RandomisedUrlService
## BIT.LY<http://BIT.LY>
# Uncomment this to use the bit.ly<http://bit.ly> URL shortener
#shortenedurl.implementation=org.sakaiproject.shortenedurl.api.BitlyUrlService
# You must also have a bitly account. So signup, navigate to http://bit.ly/a/your_api_key, retrieve your details, uncomment and set the following:
#shortenedurl.implementation.bitly.login=johnsmith
#shortenedurl.implementation.bitly.key=123qwe456asd789zxc
The easiest way to get up and running is to just choose the top one.
For resources using the url shortener, no, but what you describe was something I've always wanted to do.
cheers,
Steve

I see there is a url EB API in Sakai 2.8. I have some questions
Question #1.
I supplied this:
http://cod.oucs.ox.ac.uk:30080/direct/url/shorten.json?path=http://cod.oucs.ox.ac.uk:40080/access/content/group/af6362c5-fcdf-473b-9c4c-5d79127dfaef/Economics/Michaelmas%20Week%201/AdamVines2009.pdf
and got his back

Am I using it incorrectly, if so how is one supposed to call the API?
Question #2
Has anybody integrated this with Resources > Edit Details - I was hoping that the long ugly URL in the "web Address" 'copy box' would be a shortened URL that had been generated by using this service.
