Plugin Description
Sends status updates to Ping.fm or Twitter everytime you publish a post. Using Sm00sh, Bit.ly, Tr.im, YOURLS, Su.pr or even your own domain for shortened permalinks (accounts on these services required). So this way you can send status to many sites at once if you have a Ping.fm account or send only to Twitter if you prefer that.
If you find it useful, please consider to make a donation or offer something from Amazon to Shorten2PingNG’s author (any thing will be appreciated).

Features
- Avoids to ping again when editing previously pinged post or even when editing an old post not pinged before.
- Option to choose between Ping.fm or Twitter for new post notifications.
- Option to choose between Bit.ly, Tr.im, YOURLS, Su.pr or even you own domain for shortened permalinks.
- Option to turn off notification or shortener service. Now you can use Shorten2Ping only for notification if your domain is already short enough for you, or use only to get shortened urls for your posts.
- Stores created shortened permalink in a post meta field (used for template integration).
- Using
rel="shorturl" as proposed at http://wiki.snaplog.com/short_url, creating auto-discovery link tag for short url on single post page header.
- You can use a template tag for showing visitors the short URL (using the same rel attribute as above for the shortened permalink).
- Locale support. Now available in English, Spanish, and Italian. See translation section for more info.
- Simple, fast, and useful 🙂

- PHP 5.x with CURL and JSON enabled (maybe works too in PHP4, but not tested and not supported by me).
