 * Everything works great, except the links don’t get converted into bit.ly
    I did
   enter the username and API key correctly.

 * Will it work if you choose another URL shortener?

 * I haven’t tried because I don’t have any other shortener accounts. Will try now.

 * WP-me isn’t working either — I’ve got jetpack connected and all.
 * Google setup looks daunting, geez.

 * I have the same problem with bit.ly. The plugin does tweet the post, but it does
   so without the shortened URL. Here is the log from a post I manually published
   a few minutes ago.

 * If I resubmit the post to Twitter (with a change somewhere in the message format
   to avoid a duplicate message error), the post is tweeted correctly with the SURL.
