For my Web 2.0 awards play I looked at threadless. For people today, obsessed with being unique and original, this is perfect. The clothes, mostly t-shirts, are actually made based on slogans and logos created by the user. For example, look at this girl. All these shirts were created by her and she can then wear them.
Think about that.
You can create your own, esoteric shirt and they'll manufacture and sell it (for you I think).
The one pitfall here is that there is no clear understanding of what precisely is happening--whether you're submitting and making your own t-shirts or whether your submitting your designs and then the best designs are being made into t-shirts.
Still for people wanting an opportunity to be truly individual this is an ideal website. In this Web 2.0 world where individuals can literally create and choose the content and data that surrounds them, why should their t-shirts be any different?
There aren't many uses for this in a library setting, but it would be cool to design and buy neat t-shirts for your library or libraries in general using this site.
