    99The ShortURL plugin provides short canonical permalinks to your posts and pages similarly to WordPress.com via its WP.me service.

    13 The ShortURL plugin allows you to use your blog as your own URL shorterning service by implementing both the HTML and the HTTP Short URL Autodiscovery specifications. Your short URLs will be in the form of `http://domain/-code`.
     13The ShortURL plugin allows you to use your blog as your own URL shorterning service by implementing the [Short URL Auto-Discovery](http://wiki.snaplog.com/short_url) specification. Your short URLs will be in the form of `http://domain/-code`.

    15 The autodiscovery feature allows third-party services that honor it to use your own short URLs instead of generating new ones using services such as TinyURL, bit.ly, and others. This gives your posts and pages canonical short URLs that give you all SEO benefits and don't leak traffic out to external domains and will prevent linkrot. The homepage short URLs is set to just `http://domain/` as a unique feature.

    1717The other great benefit of the ShortURL plugin is that the generated short URLs won't break if you change the permalink structure of your blog or rename the slug of a particular post or page.

    19 Due to the recent choice of both the microformats community and WordPress.com to use `rel="shortlink"` vs the alternative proposals, the ShortURL plugin is also using it now.

    3534= Why did you choose Short URL vs RevCanonical or shortlink specifications? =
    3635
    37 RevCanonical is not supported by HTML 5 and it seems that Short URL is getting wider support by big blogs such as Ars Technica and other sites such as php.net. We will closely monitor the developments and implement the winning specification.
