Brinx

Brinx is a service that allows you to brand your links that you share with your friends and followers. A customizable ‘brinx bar’ appears at the top of the sites you share.

Two guys created Brinx for everyone who shares this passion of sharing stuff on the web. It allows you to continue sharing great links and advertise your brand at the same time, and that too, without the awkwardness of talking about yourself.

Branding your links is very way and it is a free way to drive traffic to your blog, website, Tumblr, LinkedIn etc. Professionals such as writers, photographers etc. can also promote their work just by sharing links!

Let us now take a look at what Brinx works. Similar to a link shortening service, you can shorten the links you would like to share and share them with your friends, family and contacts online. The twist is that when people click on your Brinx URL, your branding appears on the shared sites. How cool is that? You do not need to say a word; just your Brinx URL will do the job.

To have a little fun, you can experiment with your Brinx bar. Brinx offers you great themes to get you started, but the bar is basically a short HTML page that is fully customizable. You can experiment with it and make it customized according to your preferences.

You can use Brinx with TweekDeck, WordPress, Twitteriffic, Seesmic or simply use Brinx API to make Brinx the default URL shortener with these and other applications if you like.

There is a 30 days trial for Brinx. If you like the service after the trial is over, you can buy it for mere 90 cents per month. As time progresses, you need to pay even less.
