  Surprisingly, I searched “What is a shortlink” and got virtually no answers.

  So, what the heck is it? GetSocial states it’s better to use than a permalink, so that’s what I did.

  Just curious, that’s all…. It’s basically seems like an ugly version of the permalink! LOL

  A shortlink is a small sausage :)

  I did initially try Google, thank you… There are no immediate and clear definitions…

  Plus, I thought there might be something unique about its use here on WP…
