Using Bitly with Retweet button

Postby nscalice » Thu Jul 12, 2012 5:38 pm

Hello, I set up the bitly API in the settings. I want my URLs to shorten automatically when people click the "tweet" button. Is this possible?

Twitter uses its own URL shortening service (t.co) I didn't see any official API for shortening URLs with bit.ly

Article: http://techcrunch.com/2010/08/12/twitter-tweet-button/
API: https://dev.twitter.com/docs/tweet-button

Only the "Social bookmarking buttons 16px and 32px" buttons use the bitly feature to shorten the URLs.

Thank you.
