This is a hack that lets us use our own shortened links as well as keep the longer Search Engine friendly links (makes the search engine think you've got 2x the pages - which helps with results).
Doing a custom short link helps prevent confusion when getting an email that says http://bit.ly/A5Fsfz8 vs. http://www.staugepiscopal.org/news/our-news-item-name-is-super-long-this-morning-and-it-cant-wrap-well-which-means -for-text-email-readers-it-would-break. Users might think it is spam or a virus site or something else if they don't see the familiar URL.
This plugin would allow us to use http://staugepiscopal.org/AS5fg01 in content that the social module spits out to places like facebook and twitter.
