Short Links are easy to remember and share. If you are using WordPress pretty permalinks, your post URLs may be too long to share it on microblogging sites like twitter and identi.ca. This plugin shows Short Link a.k.a ugly default URLs after your post or page content. Short Links will be like http://example.com/?p=123. You can just click on it to select the Short Link. Copy it and you’re ready to share your page on the web! The default title for Short Links is “Short Link:”. You can change it for posts and pages in plugin options page.

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.
