Shorten the baggage when Plurk crossposts to Twitter, FB, etc.

re: crossposting to twitter, etc.

Can we turn off the plurk trackback URL and #plurk hashtag, and make the trackback URL shorter?

----------------------- More details -------------------

The #plurk hashtag is overwhelming when searching for terms like "plurk" on Twitter. I'd like to turn it off. It also takes up 7 valuable characters. Another idea would be to allow a user to replace it in his/her profile, or not include it at all. You can do this right on the page where you set up integration: "include the following hashtags on my Tweets: [#plurk ]"

I understand the trackback URL to the original plurk, and generally like it. But I do note that when every tweet has it, I'm being ignored on Twitter, and therefore folks aren't following through to Plurk. Again on the crosspost setup page, how about "include link back to original Plurk in content [√]" so it could be turned on/off, and then use a unicode hash to shorten that 5 character reference back to 2 or 3? (Maybe a Unicode redirect like arro.ws instead of the long URL)

I like crossposting to Twitter because Twitter does currently have a working keyword search, and many applications that can scrape those streams for those words. But my words get truncated in my Tweet due to the hashtag & url issues.
 
happy I’m thankful for plurk!
