Threadless.com is like “digg for t-shirt designs”

December 22nd, 2006

I’ve been catching up on my Bloglines feeds lately, and came across this O’Reilly Radar post about threadless.com. Tim describes it as “…digg for t-shirt designs”, which I think is fairly accurate after browsing the site for few minutes. Basically, users register on the site in order to submit their own designs and slogans, rate existing submissions, and (of course) buy t-shirts. The site design is pretty slick, and there are some really excellent t-shirts designs. The reason Tim is making such a big deal about it, is because it’s a true marriage of Web 2.0 and business - or as he puts it - “this is a ‘crowd-sourced’ manufacturing business”.
