Shirts on Sale -- Your daily dose of t-shirt deals™ (& coupons)
5 pennies earned:
Thank you all for voting in our first poll so far. While it looks like you want us to "keep on trucking," there are still 7 days until we make a final decision...
Though it's probably not really a big deal to sift through a few extra cheap shirt deals, if we were to remove any I think they would obviously be the ryde and shirtaday. This site seems to be more about random/ funny/ weird shirts and surf shirts from the ryde and boring shirts that are pretty much unoriginal from shirtaday seem as though they wouldn't really qualify for this site although they are cheap.
I would vote for The Ryde, but their designs are so horrendous that they probably won't be in business much longer anyway.
My arguments for keeping each site:
Shirt.woot is the big name in daily sites. Cutting it out, even at its worst, would decimate SoS's viewership.
Teefury is probably the most consistently solid as relates to quality, diversity, and intrigue level. Plus, the more exposure they can get the better, since they're so new still.
Uneetee does their weekly thang, meaning people would be less apt to think about their "insanitees". You do a service keeping us posted.
Shirt-A-Day, finally, is absolutely hilarious. Not their shirts. Those are bad. But it's like watching bloopers... it's a gallery of shame, and it's hilarious seeing them put so little effort and you tear them their appropriate new one.
If I had to get rid of one, it'd be the Ryde, not because there's a reason to axe it, but because there's no real addition to the site by its being there. Their shirts are generic enough to win the woot luau derby (what, too soon?), so they really don't inspire much conversation. My normal belief is the more the better, but if you felt overwhelmed, lets say, no one would even remember you used to cover the ryde.
The people have spoken, and they have said "You're doing an awesome job, Shirts on Sale -- keep on trucking!"
A vast majority, nearly 60%, have asked us to keep all five biggies in our daily roundup. How could we say "no" to a sale-hungry crowd like yourselves?
As Adder (can we call you Adder instead of your full name?) rightly points out, each one has its purpose. TeeFury is pushing the fold, Shirt.Woot is pleasing the masses, Uneetee is doing that Uneetee thing, The Ryde impresses us with the amount of money they ask for their simpleness and ShirtaDay keeps us laughing (often at them, but sometimes they are just funny).
