The business section of the Boston Herald has a great article about our very own CEO Jana Eggers! If you want to read more from Jana check out her blog LifeOnAShirt.com.

Techonology suits Jana Eggers to a T(Shirt)
Jana Eggers, global CEO of online T-shirt company Spreadshirt, loves nothing more than getting people excited about technology.

A real-time exchange illustrates her ease at drawing people in. A hotel bellman compliments Eggers on her T-shirt, which says, “Laughter, the shortest distance between two people.” It’s fitted, organic cotton – nothing cheap or cheesy.

Eggers says, “Thanks, I made it myself.” The bellman says, “That’s too bad,” and she says, “No, no, you can make one yourself.”

Eggers describes how he can just go to spreadshirt.com. He asks, “How many do I have to order?” She says, “One.” “Well,” he says, skeptical, “how expensive is that?” She tells him her shirt was $20.

“People don’t expect that,” Eggers says. “They don’t think they can go in, type in something that means something to them, get the shirt and, here’s the bonus – get it within 48 hours.”

Yes, THE John Tesh, mentions Spreadshirt on his blog. He has a nice post which includes links to people who used the internet to make money and become famous.

You Don’t Need Hollywood To Become Famous

Face it, we all want our fifteen minutes of fame . . . or perhaps thirty minutes or more. The traditional route to fame includes having an artistic talent, getting your 8 x 10 photos, finding an agent to represent you, going out on auditions and then maybe . . . getting discovered.

Marketing Week has a nice little interview with Spreadshirt CEO Jana Eggers. I like this interview because it highlights some of the things that Jana thinks about and how Spreadshirt is team oriented. I don’t get to see Jana as often as I would like because she really does a lot of travel.  Spreadshirt’s home offices are in Germany so she is often traveling there.  I do really enjoy her presentations because Jana makes sure to talk about the projects that are happening all around Spreadshirt where teams of people are working together on projects to make it faster and easier for our customers to order great t-shirts.

I have avoided blogging about how great it is too work at Spreadshirt because honestly, I felt like it would be kind of overdoing it. This is the Spreadshirt blog so of course I am pro-Spreadshirt. I think that one of the good things about working at Spreadshirt is the team here at Spreadshirt. This interview is also a great look at some of the cool projects that Spreadshirt has been working on.

A fan of Spreadshirt and American Idol sent us this tip and we just had to share. Yes, that is a Spreadshirt T-shirt that Carly Smithson held up last night. The shirt says “Simon Loves Me (This Week).” We are just thrilled that a Spreadshirt has made it to American Idol - and we didn’t even have to sing.  Visit Create Own Shirt.com to make your own shirt and share your ideas on a t-shirt.

And here is a video clip of the preformance, the shirt appears at 3:15 into the video.

I swear I didn’t know this article was coming when I wrote about the tote bags yesterday.  Check it out, Spreadshirt is featured as one of 4 alternatives for reusable shopping bags in the lifestyle section of today’s USA Today.  Click here to read the whole article online.

Here is a color picture of the tote from the USA Today website.  I love the green on the black tote bag.  There is still time to save on your own custom tote - our Earth Day sale runs through midnight tonight.  Click here for the coupon code and all the details.

I came across this blog because the author wrote a nice post that mentions Spreadshirt.  Hard Knox Life is a blog by Dave Knox who is a brand manager at Procter & Gamble and this is his blog about branding.  If you are interested in branding and some of the popular brands around today - Dave offers some great insights from a brand managers perspective.  If you are new to branding I think this blog is a good place to start - it isn’t filled with too much marketing lingo so it is pretty easy to follow.  I like that he has a category called Brands I Love - I think it is interesting to read what a brand professional thinks about brands.

Check it out - Spreadshirt was featured in Shape Magazine’s Valentine’s Day Gift Guide.

Everyone knows someone who is not that into Valentine’s Day. Soften them up with the Anti-Valentines shirt.

is Yes, We Can in Spanish. Jan at Toterly must be reading this blog. He just posted a picture of the custom tote she made to show his support for Obama. Check out his post about his tote - and his kind words about Spreadshirt at Toterly.

We often think of ourselves as geek, but we like hip too. Center Networks, which is a blog about lots of different things on the net, has included Spreadshirt in their top 10 list of German Social Web Sites. Thanks for including us.
I spent some time checking out the Center Networks blog. They have some great posts about lots of different things. If you are looking for a different place to read about other tech companies and trends than Center Networks is worth a look. I really like some of their website reviews.
I try to follow a couple of different tech blogs, I usually read the t-shirt ones first. What are your favorite tech blogs? Which ones are worth reading? What is worth skipping?

Check it out! A nice mention for Spreadshirt in this Boston Herald article “Gifts for … the newly single.” We have frequently discussed t-shirts and pick up lines here at Spreadshirt. Have you ever gotten a date because of your t-shirt. I often wear my League of Young Voters t-shirt to the gym, once this guy started talking to me about weird political stuff and he definitely was not going to ask me out on a date. Plus he did way better in the pilates class than I did. Of course we would love to see your ideas for singles t-shirts, if it is really good I might even wear it out for a test run at a local bar.
