Wow, the month of May has brought on so many changes for Tweet Tees.  After a long discussion with Albert today, the decision has been made to start taking custom orders for Twitter Meet-ups, or "tweetups" as they are being called.

A pricing structure is still being worked on, but as soon as the details are hammered out, the site will be updated with the information.

In the meantime, head on over to the store and order a shirt!  The free shipping promotion is still going on.  Use the code freeship at the checkout on your order of $19.99 or more!

Cheers!

What’s happened to twitter?

I left work around 1:30 today and it is now after 6.  Twitter has been up and down and I just want to know what’s going on!

What caused the outage?  Did Scoble break it? :)

Twhirl sure is showing me some funky code, never have seen this before, so I guess things are bad.

Ok, guess I will go interact with people in real life now.

Cheers!

Remember the song that Alana Taylor wrote and sang about Twitter? Of course you do.

Well, now you can remind yourself of that catchy tune with the brand new “Twitter Song Tee”. This beautifully designed shirt is available at the Eat. Sleep. Tweet. store.

I encourage all of you to head over there and purchase one today!

Cheers!

The all new Eat. Sleep. Tweet. (Tweet Tees) Online Store

Well as you may remember back on May 1, I wrote about how I had worked with Albert [@iAlbert] to setup the Eat. Sleep. Tweet. store using osCommerce.  Well, after the store was up and running, things took a downward spiral pretty quickly.  Orders would show up in PayPal, but nothing would exist in the database.  Buyers that had setup accounts to purchase items were not seeing previous orders in their account, and on top of this – Albert had to contact the buyers after the sale to find out what shirt they ordered (this data is not passed along to PayPal).

So, after much deliberation and looking around, he decided to go with an online store powered by Shopify.  I spent the better part of Saturday night and Sunday modding out a template that leverages Lightbox and some AJAX-y goodness.  The end result is a an online store that is more flexible and with a provider that we can rely upon.

I urge you all to check out the store, located at: store.eatsleeptweet.com.  The main domain of eatsleeptweet.com will eventually provide the public with more information about the company, contain a blog, and offer information about how internet show hosts can partner with Eat. Sleep. Tweet. for giveaways.

As for me, I will continue to help Albert get the word out about the store and the work he is doing.

There are some big product launches on the horizon, so be sure to follow @TweetTees on Twitter to know what’s going.

Cheers!
