SXSW 2009: building web communities, Threadless-style
Threadless is more than a t-shirt company, as Grant Robertson found out when he chatted with Jeffrey Kalmikoff. Jeffrey explained how Threadless works, and how they've managed to build a community of nearly a million people who submit and vote on awesome new shirts. And that's just registered users, not including the thousands who just use Threadless to buy the hottest new designs. Stay tuned to Download Squad for more interviews straight from our team at SXSW.

It's a good idea, but as a designer I'm just not going to do it.
It sucks to maybe put out say 10 designs and only get 1, or none of them accepted. I'd rather get paid $5 per awesome design than whatever it is for some contest winner.
