So, if I didn’t forget to upload a zip archive or to press a “Commit” button, it should be all here for you: the GPL’d URL shortener I wrote about earlier that Lester Chan and I have been using for a while now.
Our URL shortener service is called YOURLS, as in Your Own URL Shortener. It’s all GPL, free, do-what-you-want-with-it. Lester is running it on his own domain lc.sg, I’m running it on ozh.in, and it’s fun :)
A companion for YOURLS is a WordPress plugin (of course) that will generate short URLs for your posts when you publish them, and promote them on your Twitter account. You’ll like the plugin even if you’re not running your own YOURLS as it’s also designed to work with tr.im, bit.ly, is.gd and tinyurl.com for maximum fun.
Get YOURLS, then get the plugin: YOURLS: WordPress to Twitter

Doug Stewart » Doh, that’s a stupid error indeed :) Thanks for report, I’ll update the plugin probably this week-end (I have a few stuff to throw in)

Yup, disabling Twitter Tools and a reload of the Edit Post page confirms that it’s a namespacing issue between TT and YOURLs.
Help me, Ozh-y Wan Kenobi!

Aha! Think I found the problem. With WP_DEBUG set to true, the following gets logged in the WP YOURLs Edit Post screen widget:
I think it's a conflict with Alex King's Twitter Tools, although Intense Debate, Meet Your Commenters and Woopra all define it as well.

Gah, it ate my formatting.

A "View Source" of the page shows output dying on the right-hand widget for the YOURLs plugin. This is the last output you get on the page:

Okay, just tried the same thing (with the same results) on Pages. New Page -- no problem. Edit Page -- problem.
Also, I think the RTE behavior I was seeing was a red herring or a caching issue. The problem now occurs regardless of whether I have RTE on or off.
Browsers are FF 3.5.2 and Camino 1.6.8 on OS X 10.5.8, btw. Haven't attempted Safari yet.

This occurs on Edit Post pages. I've not tried out Pages yet.
