Custom ping lists will be disabled for each site and only the Super Administrator will be able to edit the list.</p>

<p><strong>IMPORTANT!!: At present Seesmic has blocked the API key for this plugin, you can <a href="http://ur1.es/djjSqf" rel="nofollow ugc">read more here</a>. So I have added support for using email notification, this is working for some users and not for others. Sorry but I can’t do more about this, so blame to Seesmic not me.</strong></p>
<p><strong>UPDATE (2011/08/27): Ping.fm support will be removed in a future version of this plugin.</strong></p>
<p>Sends <strong>status</strong> updates to <a href="http://ping.fm" rel="nofollow ugc">Ping.fm</a> (this means you can update Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Plurk, and many others at once) everytime you publish a post. Using many shorteners or even your own domain for shortened permalinks. So this way you can send status to many sites at once if you have a Ping.fm account or send only to Twitter if you prefer that.</p>
<p>If you find it useful, please consider to make a <a href="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=8801680" rel="nofollow ugc">donation</a> to Shorten2Ping’s author (any amount will be appreciated).</p>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Send new posts notifications to <strong>Ping.fm</strong> service (account required).</li>
<li><strong>Avoids to ping again when editing</strong> previously pinged post or even when editing an old post not pinged before.</li>
<li>Option to choose between <strong>bit.ly, tr.im, YOURLS, su.pr, is.gd, j.mp, wp.me, cli.gs or even you own domain</strong> for shortened permalinks.</li>
<li>Option to turn off notification or shortener service. Now <strong>you can use Shorten2Ping only for notification</strong> if your domain is already short enough for you, <strong>or use only to get shortened urls for your posts.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Stores created shortened permalink</strong> in a post meta field (used for template integration).</li>
<li><strong>Using <code>rel="shortlink"</code></strong> like in wp.me http://wp.me/sf2B5-shorten, creating auto-discovery link tag for the short link on single post page header.</li>
<li>You can use a <strong>template tag for showing visitors the short URL</strong> (using the same rel attribute as above for the shortened permalink).</li>
<li><strong>Locale support</strong>. Now available in English, Spanish, Italian and Traditional Chinese (zh_TW). See translation section for more info.</li>
<li>WPMU compatible (you can have different settings for each blog).</li>
<li><strong>Simple</strong>, fast, and useful 🙂</li>
</ul>
<h4>Requirements</h4>
<ul>
<li>PHP 5.x with CURL and JSON enabled (maybe works too in PHP4, but not tested and not supported by me).</li>
<li>Your hosting provider must allow the use of PHP mail() function if you choose ‘Ping.fm email’ notification method.</li>
<li>WordPress 2.7.x or higher (maybe would work on older WP, but not tested and not supported by me).</li>
<li>Required your own account for the third party services that you want to use.</li>
<li>Not tested and not supported on IIS servers.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Translations</h4>
<p>If you want to make a translation for your language, use the shorten2ping.pot included and (if you want) send me the files to correo@samuelaguilera.com for including it into the plugin package, you’ll be credited, of course (NOTE: No sponsored translations allowed).</p>
