Sends status updates to <a href="http://ping.fm" rel="nofollow ugc">Ping.fm</a> or <a href="http://twitter.com" rel="nofollow ugc">Twitter</a> everytime you publish a post. Using <a href="http://smsh.me/" rel="nofollow ugc">Sm00sh</a>, <a href="http://bit.ly" rel="nofollow ugc">Bit.ly</a>, <a href="http://tr.im" rel="nofollow ugc">Tr.im</a>, <a href="http://yourls.org" rel="nofollow ugc">YOURLS</a>, <a href="http://su.pr" rel="nofollow ugc">Su.pr</a> or even your own domain for shortened permalinks (accounts on these services required). 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.
If you find it useful, please consider to make a <a href="http://smsh.me/7kit" title="Paypal Website" rel="nofollow ugc">donation</a> or offer something from <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/wishlist/2NQ1MIIVJ1DFS" title="Amazon Wish List" rel="nofollow ugc">Amazon</a> to Shorten2PingNG’s author (any thing will be appreciated).
