Thanks so much John. Will give this a swing, and report back my attempts to botch my site :) The SnipURL crew is quite responsive too so we shall see. I have no problems with Curl as it’s standard on all servers that I know of. Cheers!

Yes, it should be straightforward. First, rename "bitly" references in the standard plugin to "snipurl". Then, drop your existing snipurl code into a modified aktt_snipurl_shorten_url function as shown above. It should just work! If you're using the snipurl example code you will introduce a dependency on the PHP cURL library into your blog setup. You should be able to rewrite the code to use Snoopy in place of cURL to avoid this though, if you prefer.

Hi. Came here from Alex King’s twitter tools page. Could you tell me how to modify this code for the snipurl service? I like their http://sn.im service for reasons that you like trim, I suppose. I have thousands of URLs since about five years so am reluctant to move to bitly etc. Could you please guide me for my own customization? I’m only somewhat versed with php and have been using the snipurl api from http://snipurl.com/site/api according to their own code samples but would like to customize this plugin, that’d be awesome. Thanks!
