In Pretty Link Pro you can set up your own site to work as webservice. As an example Blair is using this on his WPMingle.com website for Mingle-users. There is no support yet for Twitter clients, but if you make your own it would be nice if you could share the code?

Great plugin, immediately adopted for my blog…

One thing I’m missing is the ability to use pretty link directly from twitter clients that allow to use custom url shorteners (like tweetie for Mac & iPhone). Any plan to add a way to use Pretty link as a webservice ? (BTW I think I could write it myself, this should not be so different from the bookmarklet code…).

I just installed Pretty Links today and starting to get the hang of it. So far I love it…thanks! Added the bookmarklet & tested it out. I was expecting to have the Pretty Bar at the top of the page as I do when I create a Pretty Link from within WP.

Am I missing something, or is there no way to have the Pretty Bar appear when using the bookmarklet? Would be great to have the opportunity to drive traffic back to our blogs. (Sort of like HootSuite?)

Blair, I’m loving this too!

Feature request: on the page where the resulting slug is shown, it would be awesome if we could then directly edit the pro version things (like we can on the WP site) – I always have to go edit them to add the category and turn on the pretty link. Would be great if I could set those up as defaults too (instead of editing if that’s too much trouble).

Great feature, thanks. Just one suggestion: it would be more usable if the title of the created shortlink wouldnt be the slug (of the shortlink) but the title of the page whose URL was shortened.
