bit.ly and j.mp don't work

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I reproduced error by hands using string from source code that ShortenURL uses 
for j.mp and bit.ly and here is return from server:
RATE_LIMIT_EXCEED

Could you make per-service settings with api key and etc? Maybe leave default, 
but add feature to override with users own credentials?

I also have this problem for Firefox 4. An error description would be nice 
instead of "FAIL!".

If you have bit.ly account:
1. login to http://bit.ly/a/account
2. from there, copy your API key
3. type 'about:config' in URL bar and press Enter
4. type 'api.bit.ly' in Filter textbox
5. double click the entry item to edit and replace 
R_9781b0da8391ffe5de4f63c4205ed372 with your API key

Sorry for the inconvinience.
I will add user option in the future to use their own API keys
