Hate to admit but I could not.

Why the use of a 3rd party to shorten URL?
Twitter has a built in link service. A URL of any length will be altered to 20 characters, even if the link itself is less than 20 characters long. Your character count will reflect this.

Why grant any service access to your accounts ...

Has anyone else noticed Twitter changed their API URLS?
None of the URLS in the twitteroauth.php matched my URLS in the twitter > my applications.

Just curious
Twitter just forced everyone on v1.0 of the API to use v1.1 (Looks like they started enforcing this today). You will need to switch the twitter library over to the new version to get this working. When I have time I will definitely update the script, however I don't know when that will be. See: https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1/overview

As for the 3rd party question, this mod predates twitter's adding of that feature. It used to be if you wanted a URL shortened you need a 3rd party service to do so.
