Spreadshirt Marketplace Review
The Spreadshirt marketplace has really been growing and is now home to over 7,000 designs. To help spread the word about the Marketplace, Spreadshirt held a promotion (check out the original post) to influence bloggers to talk about their favorite designs.

Review of an InnerTee T-Shirt Purchase - The Good and Bad
Back in September I bought a t-shirt at Innertee and life got in the way and I am finally getting around to doing this review. Innertee allows artists to create art by "mixing" design elements.

Zazzle Partners with MySpace to Allow Musicians (maybe others) to Sell T-shirts
MySpace and Zazzle have teamed up to offer the opportunity for musicians/bands to sell t-shirts with their logo using Zazzle fulfillment. The Silicon Alley Insider (found on Mashable) suggest that the deal is really centered around music but it doesn’t make sense why they would limit themselves to just the musicians. We will learn [...]
What Does One Million Threadless T-Shirts Look Like?
We posted yesterday about how Threadless completed its 1 millionth order and about the lucky fellow who won a fabulous prize of t-shirts and I got to thinking about how much is a million. There are a number of sites that have interesting ways to see what a million is visually but I don’t have [...]
