I'm having trouble finding a good algorithm for the 2x2x2 OLL, for this case: http://erikku.er.funpic.org/rubik/images/lbl0-12.png

On Erik's site it suggests y2 FR'F'RURU'R', but I find this difficult and slow to do.
On the wiki here, I found R' F R B' R' F' R B, but this one doesn't seem much better.

I tried looking at the OLL algs for regular 3x3, and found this one which seems nice: R U2 R' U' R U R' U' R U R' U' R U' R'
But it's twice as long as the other 2! But maybe there would be a shorter version of it for the 2x2x2?

Does anyone have any other algs for this case that I could try? Or could someone show me some finger tricks for performing these more quickly?

(U2) F R U' R' U' R U R' F'
(funnily enough, the inverse of this just replaces the U' in the middle with a U)
:)
 
I use the same alg I use for 3x3x3
F' r U R' U 'r 'F R
r's are the same as R's on a 2x2x2 of course
(need to U' first if green is F in your diagram)
 
I use this:

(y2) x U R' U' L U R U' R' (I notice now that it is the same as above)
