   I wanted Tweetbacks to also find links that used Wordpress' default URLs, as if the Permalinks setting hadn't been changed. For example: mysite.com/blog/?p=123. I did this so that my 'Tweet This' links could be shorter without using a 3rd-party service.

   Here's the patch for tweetbacks.php version 1.5:
   [modification of function yoast_get_tweetback()]

   *** 505,510 ****
   --- 505,511 ----
           require_once(ABSPATH . WPINC . '/rss.php');
   
           $permalink = get_permalink($post_id);
   +       $defaultlink = get_option('home') . '/?p=' . $post->ID;
   
           $shorturls = get_post_meta($post_id,"shorturls",true);
           $oldshorturls = $shorturls;
   ***************
   *** 524,529 ****
   --- 525,535 ----
                   $shorturls['permalink'] = $permalink;
           }
   
   +       // Add the raw permalink of the post itself, e.g. /blog/?p=123
   +       if (!isset($shorturls['defaultlink'])) {
   +               $shorturls['defaultlink'] = $defaultlink;
   +       }
   +
           if (!isset($shorturls['tinyurl'])) {
                   $result = $snoopy->fetch("http://tinyurl.com/api-create.php?url=".$permalink);
                   if ($result && strpos($snoopy->response_code,"200") !== false && $snoopy->results!="" && strpos($snoopy->results,"http://tinyurl.com") === 0) {

   Here's what I put in comments.php for my theme:

   <a href="http://twitter.com/home?status=<?php the_title_attribute();?>:+<?php echo get_option('home');?>/%3Fp%3D<?php the_ID(); ?>">Tweet this post</a>

   Works a treat.

   :)

   Sorry, made a typo on first modified line. Should have been this:

   + $defaultlink = get_option('home') . '/?p=' . $post_id;

   This would be really useful to have in the default package, as for those with short hostnames they're like pre-shortened URLs with no service needed. Joost?
