First Look: AtTheBigRiver.com

The brainiacs at Dancing Mammoth have launched a new service called AtTheBigRiver.com. For want of a better term I will refer to this as a redirection service.

Too lazy to figure out the URL to the Beatles official site? Don’t bother. Just leave it up to AtTheBigRiver, and use this URL, instead:

the-beatles.atthebigriver.com

The service is built on a database of URLs for the most well-known artists, books, and so on. It seems that AtTheBigRiver is strongly oriented toward Amazon goods, so this could be a large boon to bloggers who are trying to steer people to Amazon purchases, and hoping to pocket the affiliate revenue. To better support this use case, AtTheBigRiver accepts an affiliate code at the end of URLs, like this:

http://neil-gaiman.atthebigriver.com/affiliate123

where ‘affiliate123’ is an Amazon affiliate ID.

About me

Social anthropologist, clairvoyant, postfuturist.

My work is social tools and their impact on media, business, and society.

I am made greater by the sum of my connections, and so are my connections.
