This week I came across two great examples that perfectly match with the title of this blog: Social Textiles! They combine social media with clothes; more in particular with T-shirts!

Firstly there is the Facebook application, Status king which makes it possible to order T-shirts with  some basic Facebook information about yourself printed on: more in particular your Facebook status, user picture and how long ago you’ve updated your status. So if you want to let  know “what are you doing right now?” in a non-digital way!

But if you say: I’m not so a Facebook-fan. I’m more into Twitter, than I have some very good news for you! Similar to the Facebook application there is a service, called TWitoShirt which displays your tweets on a shirt, exactly as it appears on the web; so not only the message is printed, but also the username, user picture and the time that has elapsed. An additional feature is that you can also customize the size and colours.

   Thanks for the mention about Status King. Although we have plans to offer Twitter Tees here in a while (it will still be a bit), it is flattering to see a “twitter copy” of Status King within about a month. Great minds think alike. I am sure they won’t be the only ones. Good post!

   Just so your users know, you can access Status King at http://statusking.net without adding the app.
