There are many Wordpress plugins on the web that tweet blog post links to your Twitter account, but none of them give blog friendly urls, most of them provide Twitter firendly urls(shortened urls such as tinyurl.com, bit.ly,..). You might ask “What is blog friendly url on Twitter?”, url which promotes your blog on Twitter can be called as blog friendly url.

If you are writing fabulous posts on your blog, getting lot of traffic from Twitter, then it is the time to brand your blog post urls, so that whoever comes across your blog post tweets should be able to remember your site url. It can be achieved using Twitter Friendly Links Wordpress plugin.

Twitter Friendly Links shortens lengthy blog post urls to short Twitter and blog friendly urls. For example see this link
