The Shorter Links WordPress plugin overrides the default WordPress 
“shortlink” URL with one that has a custom text in it. You can also set a 
different base URL.
A custom field called “Shorter link” is created once a post is saved, 
so that you can change the shortlink to a more memorable set of 
characters.
The choice of base URL to use for the short link can be configured within 
Settings->Shorter Links.
