I first spotted Bre.ad on Mashable.com. Bre.ad is a URL shortening tool with an interesting twist. During the URL redirect, you stop off on a full page "billboard" that promotes something (brand or cause). You pause on the billboard for 5 seconds and then are redirected to the URL. The user has the option to wait for 5 seconds, pause on the billboard, or click continue to shorten the time viewing the billboard.

Bre.ad is currently in beta, and you need to request an invitation to join. Check out my review of the new Bre.ad service using, of course, the Bre.ad URL shortening service.
