A plugin that adds a Twitter link to every post and page, so your readers can share your blog entries on their Twitter accounts with ease. Shortens URLs in advance. Tested on WordPress 2.7.1, 2.0.11, and 1.5.
The Long Description

Adds a “Tweet This Post” link to every post and page. Shortens URLs in advance through Th8.us, eating up only 19 of 140 characters. Also included: Plurk, Yahoo Buzz, Delicious, Digg, Ping.fm, Reddit, and StumbleUpon. Includes the post’s title after the link (can be customized). If your titles are really long, they get cut off at 136 characters with “…”. Customize under Settings > Tweet This. Includes your choice of six buttons.

Installing Tweet This
This is the standard install in WordPress:
1. Upload the tweet-this to wp-contents/plugins/
2. Activate the Plugin (Dashboard/Plugins)
3. In Settings, Tweet This make any changes

That’s all you have to do.

Final Thoughts
The install was easy and it worked with my default theme, who could ask for more?  Good job to Richard Thripp!

Also, I have not noticed any slow-down on my page loads like other people have mentioned.
