The plugin is for those people who don’t want to use third party services to create shortened urls for their wordpress posts. The plugin simply creates another shareable link for your wordpress posts that you can share with people.

Roasted Url Shortener

The plugin creates a short url for your blog posts using the same domain as your wordpress installation. So you don't rely on thirdparty services …

Notice: I’ve have since stopped development of this plugin as I feel that the state of URL Shortening services seems to have converged and there isn’t much more progress I have in the pipeline for this plugin.
<a href="http://wiki.fusedthought.com/docs/url-shortener-wordpress-plugin" title="URL Shortener" rel="nofollow ugc">URL Shortener</a> allows you to generate shortlinks for post/pages using URL Shorteners (e.g. Bit.ly, Su.pr and many others), with a few additional features.
Please check your settings when upgrading to Version 4.0 from previous versions prior to it.
