This class can be used to retrieve the shortest URL from several shortening services.

It accesses the APIs of different URL shortening services and sends a request to retrieve the short version of a given URL.

The class returns the short URL that is the shortest among all that were tried.

Currently it tries the following shortening services: tr.im, bit.ly and ur.ly.

Prize: One book of choice by Apress		 Nowadays, there are plenty of URL shortening services, making it hard to choose one that makes the URLs shorter.

This class provides a solution for that problem. It tries several of such URL shortening services and picks the one that returns the shortest URL.
