Bre.ad shortens URLs while letting you extend your brand

So, you are a professional content person (or a celebrity, musician, publisher, etc) and you want to link to other things but you want to be able to push advertising or branding into that experience. I don't recommend this for everyone (I hate ads like this) but I can see why some professionals might want to use it. http://bre.ad for more, here the founder shows us what it does and why to use it. See how Britney Spears uses it.

what's that scrolling the right? Is it tweets?

I think a lot of people fail to see how revolutionary this could be. Yes, professional content creators can use this as part of their new business models. But this product also opens a lot of doors for amateur content creators. You don't have to be a NBA basketball player anymore to promote Nike. Anyone now can be a celebrity.

Television shows like Glee wouldn't exist without advertisement. I can only imagine what new & innovative content will be now be created because of tools like Bre.ad.

Interesting service one.

I like it, but my followers don't. I sent out 3 tweets with bre.ad links 3 weeks ago, and people told me that they are annoyed already. You also won't get RTs this way...

So a service that works like a road bump, how annoying.
