Shorten2Ping

IMPORTANT!!: At present Seesmic has blocked the API key for this plugin, you can read more here. 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.

UPDATE (2011/08/27): Ping.fm support will be removed in a future version of this plugin.

Sends status updates to Ping.fm (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.

If you find it useful, please consider to make a donation to Shorten2Ping’s author (any amount will be appreciated).
