While I know that it probably won’t be cool in another 6 months, I’ve been noticing that there’s a growing number of t-shirt companies — and a whole lot of the kids out there for that matter — that are swiftly crawling onto the MySpace.
So I think you know where I’m going with this… Do you guys and gals think that I should set up a profile for Preshrunk? And if I did, would you laugh at me for being a lemming or would you actually add us? Inquiring minds want to know.
Update: Since all of you who have responded so far seem to be down with it, here’s our MySpace profile. Now, do any of y’all know how to make it sexy?

I’d add.
It’s just another place to get traffic, so that’s always good.
I would add you guys no doubt. You guys rock. I didn’t get into the whole myspace thing, until I decided one day to make a really nice custom layout using CSS and some coding to overlay over the myspace layout.
B.
we’ll add ya as homies….making friends is the new making enemies…
It’s a good place to have a presence. I wouldn’t use the built-in blog though, just promote the real preshrunk.
I’d add.
As long as you don’t start recommending shirts like the “Tom is not my friend” from bustedtees, then I encourage it. Any shirt making a reference to MySpace has appeared to me to be worthless filth.
Oh, and no Yellowcard music videos. And no posting of bulletins that say “hey, if you don’t repost this, threadless is going to kill a puppy.”
Keep the stripes though, it’s a slick design.
Everyone else is doing it, why the devil not, eh?
And about the stripes, when did Preshrunk get sexy?
At work, we just took one of our products to MySpace. There was some serious concern (none of us have personal MySpace pages) but the bottom line is, yeah, it’s just another way to increase visibility. And I have to say, now that I’m maintaining the product site, I’m kind of getting sucked in… it’s fun, and indeed, everyone seems to be doing it. Anyway, if you set up a PreShrunk profile, I’d totally add you to our friends list — Threadless is our friend.
MySpace is OK, but you really should get a Facebook instead. Myspaces tend to gather annoying GIF’s, low contrast backgrounds, and music that gets shoved down your throat with no way to stop it. Anyways, the layout is excellent now.
Thanks for the feedback, everyone! Hopefully you notice that I’ve dropped a link to our MySpace profile up in the post. Please don’t hesitate to add us.
I’m glad to see that those of you who notice the new layout really seem to like it. I’ll stick with this one for a while, I promise…
Dave: Actually, I ran a MySpace shirt roughly 10 months ago. And as far as I was concerned, it was pretty suck free… *shrug*
you were asking how to make your myspace pretty. having just got myself a myspace i was thinking the same thing. then i found this very helpful article and download:

There’s a great tutorial on hacking your MySpace profile page, I did it on mine: http://myspace.com/combustionchamber
the tutorial is here: http://www.mikeindustries.com/blog/archive/2006/04/hacking-myspace-layouts
MySpace is deliberately built crudely so you can hack the hell out of it. Enjoy!
You win this time Jason…
I can make your myspace look pretty.
