TODO
1) I'd really like to just call one function in both the preview and the execution, but haven't figured out how yet while still maintaining dynamic AJAXy previews. Something like this, except with setSelection instead of displayMessage:
  _shortenUrl: function( urlToShorten ) {
    var baseUrl = "http://is.gd/api.php";
    var params = {longurl: urlToShorten.text};
    var shortUrl = jQuery.get( baseUrl, params, function ( isgdResponse ) {
      displayMessage(isgdResponse);
      })
  },

2) Give an option to copy to clipboard instead of replacement/insertion.
I think geero.net had some ideas on that.
