Hi John!

Thanks for your helpful post! I have a somewhat related question that I’ve been SCOURING the net for an answer on all day. I’m trying to find a way to allow people to share my articles on twitter using my YOURL’s service (which would give them the same shortened URL that was auto-generated by the post). This would be much more useful as far as stats go.

I’m now using the AddToAny share button (which is pretty robust and customizable). I’ve managed to customize it and add a second Twitter link and have it not show their default Twitter link (which automatically runs the link though their servers and shortens it with bit.ly). So… the current state just lets people share my full post URL (which is pretty short). As the links get longer, however (since post ID’s seem to jump a few numbers each post) I’ll definitely need a shortener soon enough.

Any thoughts?

A long-time Twitter Tools user myself this was exactly what I was looking for after having finished my yourls installation yesterday.

Thank you for your efforts!
