Tweet Tees Goodies

Jacob Burke — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 05:30:21 +0000

For those of you that were in attendance at PodCampAZ, you own some SWAG from Tweet Tees. For those of you that couldn’t make it, here is your chance to grab a wristband and button (they come in a set). Now I only have 5 of these left, because they were going faster than beer at a kegger. To get yourself some goodies from Tweet Tees, be sure to look for me on Twitter (@jacobburke) as I will tweet out a question everyday, starting on November 17.

The person that answers the question correctly will win a wristband and button from Tweet Tees.

Be on the lookout come November 17 for your chance to win!

Cheers!

UPDATE

After going through my notes from PodCampAZ, I discovered that I still have some stickers! In addition to the wristband and button, each daily winner will also receive two Tweet Tees stickers!

What Happened to May?

Jacob Burke — Sun, 01 Jun 2008 05:58:49 +0000

The month of May has come and gone in the blink of an eye. I am trying to figure out where all the time has gone and what I have accomplished this month. Most of my time has been spent working, I am happy to be getting a steady paycheck again and not living off of my savings.

The month started off with the launch of the Tweet Tees online store. I then started work at La Tourelle Resort & Spa as the Internet Marketing Manager. I am now happy to announce that I am working with the Finger Lakes Tourism Alliance on a part-time basis doing a variety of web & graphic work. This past month has really been fruitful for me, and I couldn’t be happier.

In addition to work, I have made myself more visible online. I feel that this is key to my networking strategies and future business opportunities.

I think the biggest thing of all that has happened online (for me) during the month of May was the continual downtime of Twitter. I had a big rant all ready to record on Viddler, but I have decided to hold off for now. Frankly, I am more pissed with Steve Gillmor thinking that he knows everything and keeps bashing FriendFeed. The man doesn’t even know how to use a proper @ reply on Twitter. Just my two cents!

Ok, well May has been great and it’s over now. June brings hope and opportunity with it, maybe we will see Twitter become stabilized and Steve Gillmor finally stop bitching.

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!

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

Jacob Burke — Mon, 12 May 2008 09:55:27 +0000

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!

The NEW Tweet Tees Site!

Jacob Burke — Thu, 01 May 2008 13:03:41 +0000

Over the past week I have been working with Albert (Twitter: iAlbert & TweetTees) on a store for his Tweet Tees. Last night I made some DNS changes and as of 5:30 this morning – the new site is live!

I encourage all of you Twitterholics to head over to eatsleeptweet.com and order a shirt. The prices are very reasonable and Albert is always working on new designs.

As for me, I think I will be hibernating after I finish another project that I have lined up.

Cheers!

Please note that there are some final tweaks being made, if you see any problems, contact us!
