Been working on a new startup called shrtn.co, and think it's at a stage to show HN. It's basically a URL shortener which adds affiliate links onto the end of URL's, then shares any revenue generated by those links with the original sharer.
You guys are the first ones to see this, and we're fully aware that it's far from finished. It currently only 'works' with Amazon.com/.co.uk, and the feature set is fairly basic too, but we were eager to get it out there to get some feedback from HN :)
Would be great to hear what you think about the concept, application, as well as any future developments that you believe would be beneficial.
On a semi-related note, we're also looking for an awesome PHP (the site was built in CodeIgniter) developer who's interested in working with us in exchange for company shares. I developed the site myself, but don't really rate myself as the greatest developer in the world. There is also a never ending (almost literally) amount of work to be done to hook the app up with other site's affiliate schemes. So if you're interested in working with a couple of ambitious geeks on a (very) early stage startup, are friendly, and are awesome at what you do, then we'd love to hear from you (my email address is in my profile.)

Thanks HN!
