Thinglink
Thinglink is a database of created things. From music, to art, products and ideas, its a platform that allows makers and creators to link their creations and document it online, creating a resource for manufacturers and other creators to browse through. Started by Aula Design Oy , a small Helsinki-based company, Thinglink hopes to create social networks amongst creative types from all over the world.
Setting up an account is simple and straightforward and you can easily create a link to your own items, giving your stuff an audience that may not have previous access to it and vice versa. Flickr users can also use their photos on the site as well.
Each thing linked on the site gets a unique 6 digit code that becomes its product code, much like an ISBN number, it allows for easy searching and tracking. Each thinglink can also be tagged with various tags to help in the description of the items. In fact, they encourage makers to write more about their creations. Thinglink is a great way for any makers to showcase their work, given that everything is free and as it grows, so will the audience. Initiatives like this certainly help the little man to fulfill their dreams.
