If you can think of any, let me know! True, there can be as many Bible shorteners as there are Bible translations! ;-)

Do you know for when this is perfect? For when I'm in live chat during church online at <a href="http://www.liquidchurch.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">www.liquidchurch.com</a> as a ministry participant. With live worship chat running so fast, having a tool like this will tangibly save the time to go to another window with bit.ly or is.gd to set-up a link shortcut to a scripture verse that was mentioned in the sermon just moments ago or referring to another verse that is relevant in worship chat makes all the difference -- then copy/paste back into the chat window. Tons of other reasons to use it too. Hmmm…I guess I have to stop my freelancer on my dev project too…good to see work in this area!

I understand people have favorite verses or want to give inspiration to others but people who tweet verse after verse after verse are spammers in my book. I'm just as happy to unfollow someone who fills my tweetdeck with Bible verses as I am someone who wants me to know the status of their hair day. I think most of the 500 people I follow use twitter for networking, sharing ideas and content, and announcing blog posts or other relevant material to our niche (church planting, small group discipleship). Also, they don't have HCSB which is going to be the standard translation in 5 years because of its readability, accuracy and lack of doctrinal bias. Okay, so this comment sounds really negative...I'm sorry...I guess I should've just said, "I probably won't use it too much :) It's a neat tool but personally I don't use twitter to read the Bible.

The examples from the post show that we actually support numerous versification. So, for example, the numbers link you were trying to generate could be done: <a href="http://ref.ly/Nu10.12" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://ref.ly/Nu10.12</a> <a href="http://ref.ly/Num10.12" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://ref.ly/Num10.12</a> <a href="http://ref.ly/numbers10.12" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://ref.ly/numbers10.12</a> The key is to use a "." instead of ":" Hope that helps.
