    I think I am missing something here.

    I am trying to display the actual shortlink in my theme, eg this Shortlink: http://kovshenin.com/794.

    But I can’t get it to display?
    <?php if (function_exists("twitter_link")) { echo '<a href="' . twitter_link() . '" rel="nofollow"> </a>'; } ?>

    Am I doing something wrong with my code?

      Kelton, you’re doing it right, just make sure that you’re using the twitter_link function within “The Loop”, otherwise provide it with a post id: twitter_link($post_id);

    Very well done video! I like the links, but I’m lazy. I want my post titles =automatically= tweeted AND with your nice links.

      Lane, Twitter Tools used to do that, but they’re shutting down the Basic Auth now, so don’t know how long that’ll live or whether Alex King would rewrite it to use OAuth. Until then you’ll be fine with Google Feedburner ;)
