I have a simple url shortening script & a geo targeting script.

I want to combine these so the user can choose geo-redirection as seen here; http://by.ly/

So basicly a clone of the above.

But also add an option to redirect if the refer is coming from a particular site.

We are looking to make a clone of the site bit.ly and ow.ly.

Basically we are looking for a website that can be used to shorten long URLs and sustain these temporarily links for up to seven days. After that period, links are deleted.

Also, we want the ability to integrate this with any social networking site, such as Facebook, Twitter, etc.

We require avery simple but easy to use interface. We do also want the ability to have users create accounts to be able to track their shortened URLs.

We also need SEO, metatags, all of that good stuff. Google Adsense and Analytics will be used to fully optimize the site’s full potential.

I need a WordPress twitter plugin created.

The plugin will require a license key before it will work and the license key will only work for 1 blog installation. If the user wants to install the plugin on a second blog, they will need another license key. All of the license keys will be stored on a central php file on my server.

After the plugin is activated and the license key is entered, the plugin will start working. The plugin should have a settings page which will allow the user to put in their twitter login information and click save. They will have the option to delete this twitter profile and change it at any time.

Heres how the plugin works.

When a user successfully installs this plugin it will start to update their twitter account (the one they entered in the settings page) whenever they add a new post to their WordPress blog and it will ALSO retweet their message to over 100 other twitter profiles that I have created. These other 100 twitter profiles will be kept hidden from the plugin user and will be stored on a central php file on my server.

The plugin will post to twitter in these formats:

(blog url goes here) : (blog title goes here)

and this message will be retweeted to the other 100 twitter accounts listed on my central php file in this format.

RT (at symbol)username_of_plugin_user (blog title goes here) : (blog url goes here)

All of these posts made to twitter will be from the API

And to save WordPress from freezing when the user tries to save their post, I will need all of these updates to be sent to my server where they will be put into a que and every 20 minutes will be sent to twitter using a cron job. This should save WordPress from freezing while it waits for all the twitter accounts to be updated.

I will also need the URLs in the twitter updates to use a URL shortening service. The URL shortening service I recommend it http://bit.ly/ This has an API that you can tie into.

If you can’t find a url shortening service that you can do this with I have a URL where you can build your own url shortening script to tie into this script.

I will also need the script created so that it doesn’t post anything to twitter longer than 140 characters and if the twitter posts are going to be longer than that it will have to cut the blog title down.

=======================

I will choose a programmer right away for this project and I will need to see a working demo ASAP. I would like to begin work right NOW. I will be selecting someone who has good feedback rating and who is bidding within my budget.

I need to add functionality to the Drupal Short URL and Shorten URLs modules.

- I need to add the ability to create custom short URLs (example.com/custom redirects to reallylongdomain.com/x/y/z). AKA vanity URLs

- Need to add more statistics. Number of clicks/uses, referring sites, timestamps with each use for plotting on a timeline. Also as lower priority: user browser, geographic location.

- I also need to view statistics by user. So if a user is logged in when they shorten, they should be able to view their stats for their shortened URLs.

- An interface to manage shortened URLs. (Edit, Delete, Create) Maintenance.

- The stats will be displayed graphically, maybe views module integration would be best for this? So that I can use a charting module.

Basically, the project is pretty simple. The Shorten URLs module already records some stats, I just need it to record more. Then be able to pull those stats by user through the views module.
