Rumplo is a platform that let’s people rank and track their favorite T-shirts and T-shirt designers. It was built to be a promotional platform for those whose business is T-shirts to potentially receive a larger following. I haven’t gathered any background information on traffic numbers yet but it does look like they have a fair bit of content on there. About 21 pages worth of T-shirts. I also found our friend Joe from Fantastic Bonanza on the site. The platform seems promising and I’ll need to give it try.

I recently came across the Emptees site and was extremely impressed with not only the community of talented designers but with the elegant execution of the site by Indie Labs. Note: Indie Labs also is behind “Big Cartel”, the easy to use online store application for apparel designers. The interface for Emptees is clean and simple as the site is divided intuitively into 3 sections: Tees, People and Talk. The home page is also well conceived displaying not only the top Tees but the most recent conversations in the talk section as well.
I recently posted the news of our launch on Emptees and received some great feedback (My Post) . Thanks to all who responded. For those who’ve sent emails I will be in touch shortly. An interesting point was made by TAC in terms of creating a point system. I think this is a great idea as the team has discussed this on numerous occasions. I will also post news about particular community features in the near future as we are getting ready “beta” testing.
Again, many thanks to the Emptees community.
