# WP.me via Short Link via Jetpack on Admin Bar?

 * The wp.me short link feature is great! However, if I’ve already published an 
   article and want to include a link to it on another site (e.g., a LinkedIn discussion
   group), I have to go to edit the post to get the “Get Shortlink” button. It’d
   be **much** more convenient of that button was on the admin bar.
 * Is there a way to do this of which I’m unaware?

 * Could you try this plugin? [http://wordpress.org/plugins/reenable-shortlink-item-in-admin-toolbar/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/reenable-shortlink-item-in-admin-toolbar/)
 * This was a feature before WordPress 3.3, but was removed then (I’m afraid I’m
   not up to date on the rationale, perhaps when Twitter started using t.co and 
   so shortlinks weren’t “required” anymore).
 * Cheers!

 * If Twitter’s t.co feature was the rationale, then it’s a very small-thinking 
   rationale because there are other reasons to use short links.
 * I’ll check out the plugin.

 * The idea of what ships with core WordPress and what is “plugin territory” is 
   what the majority needs. The rationale that the majority used shortlinks due 
   to Twitter, based on their character limit (and why it was added in the first
   place) and, with that rationale removed, it didn’t make sense to include for 
   everyone.
 * The functionality used to create/handle shortlinks remained (so plugins like 
   Jetpack or Bit.ly’s plugin, etc) could easily tap into WordPress to create, display
   a shortlink was left in place, as well as the “hook” needed for the plugin mentioned
   above to add it back to the display area.
 * It’s a fine line to walk when developing software that is used in so many places
   to keep it as feature enabled as possible, without bogging it down and making
   it too difficult for “regular” or new users.
 * Cheers!
