I took the idea further with <a href="http://richardxthripp.thripp.com/tweet-this" rel="nofollow">Tweet This</a>, which caches the shortened URLs so they aren't fetched on every page load, and taps right into Twitter's API so your readers don't have to copy and paste. Twitter has an API where anything that appears after the equal sign in the URL http://twitter.com/home/?status= appears in the post box. You may want to mention it in your description; you could easily use something like <?php echo '<a href="http://twitter.com/home/?status=' . TinyLink() . '" title="Post to Twitter">' . TinyLink() . '</a>'; ?> to do that. This is a great idea!

If you can show us your site, it will be easier to see the actual issue. Would you like to try <a href="http://forum.oinam.com/" rel="nofollow">the forum</a> and post the necessary issue in the "Tiny Link" Wordpress Plugin Section. @K1DF0X

Tiny Link should be used as an alternative link to be used while sending links to somebody or to type on a mobile device or when you just need a shorter link. The main link should be used for the usual purposes - linkbacks, hyperlinking within your article. @Mutiny Design:
