WordPress generates shortlinks for your posts and pages. By default it uses the <code>?p=</code> with the post ID added to it, but if you have a rather long domain name this isn’t very useful. If you use <a href="http://bit.ly" rel="nofollow ugc">Bit.ly</a>, this plugin will help you replace the shortlink WordPress generates with a proper Bit.ly shortlink.
This plugin uses the latest Bit.ly OAuth 2 draft specification API instead of its deprecated V3 API and enables you to use generic access token to automatically enable Bit.ly shortlinks in your entire multisite network without the need for each site user to have to tinker with any settings or authentication configurations.

Bit.ly Shortlinks Multisite (Uses OAuth 2 API)

This plugin replaces the default WordPress shortlinks with Bit.ly shortlinks for your single site or multisite WordPress network.

Background
WordPress has created the wonderful functionality of generating shortlinks for post on your blogs. With advanced 
permalink structures a single link to your site can take up 89% of a short email or a facebok update. However, 
Wordpress created a very ugly system, the shortlink system simply provides the default permalink structure with ugly 
url variables.
Here is the documentation on adding shortlinks to your themes on the <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_shortlink" title="Wordpress.org - Shortlinks" rel="nofollow ugc">WordPress Codex</a>
Use
Some themes use the template method to share the short url of your post. The use of this plugin would convert all of those 
links to trackable ones with bit.ly or shorter ones with the other services.
Also, when you create a new post a button is created next the the URL of your new post. If you click the “Get Shortlink” button 
a popup will provide a simple little link to share with all of your friends and fans.
