LOL! Love the PS at the end. <br><br>Let's see what others think. I'm not looking for a full blown thesis, just something that let's the world know that these shortcodes are there and how to use them, and talk about how to add feeds and such. That's where the Codex really excels, not in trying to answer everything. <br>
<br>Thanks,<br><br>Lorelle<br>

</div>Shortlinks are already in core, have been since... err.. 2.9 or 3.0. I<br>
use them in my Simple Twitter Connect and Simple Facebook Connect<br>
plugins (Simple Google Connect is in progress).<br>
<br>
I dunno. I think this is too big a concept, with too many opinions*<br>
and ways of doing it. "Integration" is a big thing, with a lot of<br>
separate sub-topics and such. You can break it down into parts, but<br>
even in those parts there's dozens of possible ones, each has<br>
different upsides and downsides, etc.<br>

* my opinions and methods for doing this sort of thing are the only<br>
correct ones, of course, but not everybody agrees. ;)<br>
