I am currently using a workaround that takes the journal RSS feed and pipes it through If This Then That and into Twitter. I have chosen to use a specific tag to crosspost to Twitter instead of all entries ever, but what I currently do would work just as well with all entries ever.
I would refine this suggestion in the following ways:
By default, send the full link -- Twitter now uses their own URL-shortener, but displays the link as sent. This would allow readers on Twitter to see that it's a Dreamwidth link, and Twitter readers on other clients to maybe see (depending on if their client shows the pretty link or the t.co link) as opposed to everybody seeing a bitl.y or j.mp link regardless of where they're reading.
Allow user-specified custom URL shortening if practical, as some people have either their own shortener set up, or have an account at an established service; using whatever service they have will allow them to view analytics for the link.
Allow preset customization of the text sent to Twitter. I personally prefix mine with "DW entry:" to distinguish it from all the other links I toss out there.
Allow on-the-spot changes from the default: if someone wants to send to Twitter when they don't usually, make that possible; if someone decides that this particular entry is best not sent to Twitter, also make that possible.
