Following up on yesterday’s post about our shocking (albeit unintentional) abuse of the bit.ly API, I emailed my contact at bit.ly and let him know about the changes in the LGF Blog code, and got this reply:

Thanks! The number of /shorten requests from your account has fallen dramatically. You’re fine with /stats calls for now, but keep an eye on our API list (groups.google.com…) as we’ll be releasing a new version of that endpoint soon.

So we’re good for now, and there’s no risk of a [gasp] suspended account.
