Description

Notice: I've have since stopped development of this plugin as I feel that the state of URL Shortening services seems to have converged and there isn't much more progress I have in the pipeline for this plugin.

URL Shortener allows you to generate shortlinks for post/pages using URL Shorteners (e.g. Bit.ly, Su.pr and many others), with a few additional features.

Please check your settings when upgrading to Version 4.0 from previous versions prior to it.

What's New with 4.0

QR Code Support (using Google Chart API)
Additional Shorteners (Goo.gl, dlvr.it, yourls)
Nice ID links with QR Code (i.e. http://your_site/123.qr)
Version 4.0 features completely refactored code once again. Now includes classes which allows developers to easily extend the plugin.

Features:

Automatic generation of a Short URL/Shortlinks
Cached Shortlink - thus generated only once.
Choose to generate shortlinks using permalinks or the posts ID (e.g. http://your_site/index.php?p=123).
Relatively extensive shortlink support
Action Hooks available for other plugins to utilize generated shortlinks (From Ver 3.0 Onwards)
Nice ID links - http://your_site/123 instead of http://your_site/index.php?p=123
Shortcode support (Ver 3.1): Place [shortlink] in your article where you want to display the shortened url.
Append a link to short URL below your post content (Ver 3.1.1)

Future Versions and on:

More services/features can be added upon request (http://code.google.com/p/url-shortener-plugin/issues/list)
Do note that due to my increasing need to concentrate on my studies, and a lack of financial contribution from such plugin development, I cannot possibly accede to all requests.
