I was very excited to read about Rumplo on Fantastic Blognanza. Rumplo is a social networking site for t-shirts - you can save and share your favorite t-shirts, see new shirts, leave comments on shirts and share with your friends on Rumplo. The site is really well designed and very easy to use. I also like how easy it is to add a t-shirt to Rumplo - just submit the url and it does the rest. But then a roadblock, Rumplo does not accept t-shirts from Spreadshirt!
Here is their explaination:
After initially allowing submissions from on-demand printers we’ve stopped. We found the kind of shirts submitted from on-demand printers were of markedly different styles than the community of independent t-shirt shops that we created Rumplo to serve. And Cafepress and other services like it already provide many of the tools Rumplo offers, as well as a community of sorts, so we decided to focus on serving t-shirt artisans and shops that don’t have these tools available to them.
I am saddened by this because I know that Spreadshirt has some amazing t-shirt designs and that our flex flock printing is as good as (and often better than screen printing). So Rumplo is cool, but is limited in its selection of cool t-shirts.
