Description
I am not completely sure if I just have not setup the module correctly or it is broken. However, given the short url settings I have (see attached), I would assume that Twitter would be given tinyurls.
I'm curious if this is a bug (my suspicion) or if I have configured the module incorrectly?
If it is a configuration issue, I would encourage you to add some documentation on this, as it is not clear how to enable tinyurls for twitter.
Using the latest 2.x dev release.

Still an issue. Just wondering if the maintainers had any thoughts?
#2
This is advertised functionality that does not work so I am marking it as critical.
#3
Here is a simple patch for the service_links_render function that checks to see if we are generating a Twitter link. If we are, it will return the short URL.
I recognize that this isn't the best approach, perhaps a system in which you could check off which services you want to have a tinyurl would be better, but this is a solid interim solution.
