 * Already submitted through plugin support request posted herein case others having
   same issue — dlb
 * I updated to the latest version of the plugin and the last two scheduled posts
   gave me the same error:
 * “The query to the URL shortener API failed, and your URL was not shrunk. The 
   full post URL was attached to your Tweet. Check with your URL shortening provider
   to see if there are any known issues.”
 * I am using goo.gl as my shortner. The tweet was sent and the link did work just
   wasn’t short
 * I used the test button and and the tweet with short url was fine so maybe the
   error is related to the work around for the scheduled post issue in the latest
   plugin update v2.5.4

 * Since shortening the url is redundant (because Twitter already does it) and the
   error isn’t due to the plugin I can live with it not working all the time. I’ll
   probably turn it off since I use Google analytics so I don’t need a 3rd party
   url shortener
