I would love to see a plugin to automatically generate bitly style short-links for forum topics. Using the bitly API would be great, since it allows for branded domains and it’s widely used.

I read this topic: [https://meta.discourse.org/t/shorten-share-links/12558](https://meta.discourse.org/t/shorten-share-links/12558) but it seems like it’s only related to the goo.gl service rather than Bitly, and it’s not a plugin but an extension of the core.
