Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →

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 🙂
