ok, since i’ve talked about yourls so often, i’m going to install it now real quick. i already have a short url solution in place for content posted here on vocal.ly but i don’t have one in place for external urls. it’s not a priority but i’ll toss it in the mix just for fun. who knows, maybe a few peeps will use vocal.ly to make a short url. doubtful. but i will

http://Yourls.org is a great project that I have mentioned several times now both here and on comments elsewhere. Here is a new WordPress widget to let others create urls from your blog sidebar:

wonder what it would be like if i opened up this domain, vocal.ly, for others to use as a way to share links with commentary. in other words, if you want to share a link, you would use a vocally bookmarklet or just login to this wordpress mu site and write a short post with the link you want to share. the post would get published to your twitter, @vocally and obviously posted on this site. the link that gets posted to twitter etc would be a vocal.ly short url instead and people would read your comments and see the full url that they can follow and/or leave a comment on the vocal.ly post.
not a replacement for rapid url sharing but does nudge people to have a threaded discussion off of twitter while being safer since you know the link will hit the vocal.ly multi-user wordpress blog where you can see the long url and participate in discussions.
http://a.tinythread.com is a little side project of Delicious founder Joshua Schachter and has had some decent momentum as a simple place to have discussions initiated by a tweet. well i suppose this is the same idea
except it would use WordPress and have a built-in short url. Could also include a secondary short url for the url that is referenced in the post. Like vocal.ly/go/qwe for remote url and vocal.ly/rty for the local post. this sounds like it would be best if it were a wordpress plugin for WPMU.
something to think about at least.
