Name: Shirts Taste Good
Quick Pitch: Shirts Taste Good sells YouTube (
) inspired t-shirts.
Genius Idea: Some things just go together. Milk and cookies, peanut butter and jelly, bagels and cream cheese, and now your favorite YouTube videos on t-shirts. Shirts Taste Good is a simple but genius t-shirt site that brings viral YouTube videos to life in t-shirt form. You’ll immediately recognize the Rick Astley/Rick Roll tees, the visual depiction of Bill O’Reilly’s shining web moment (this one’s an internet meme), and the new classic I’m on a Boat featuring Andy Samberg.
Shirts Taste Good releases a new tee every week starting at $14.95, with the oldies but goodies costing $17.95 (plus shipping). Designs are pretty colorful and clever interpretations of videos we’ve all come to know and love (or at least recognize). Should a memorable video escape your recollection, you can click the t-shirt icon on the homepage to watch the video for a quick refresher.
We think their starting stock is pretty priceless as is, but should your favorite viral video moment be absent from their inventory list, you can submit your suggestions for consideration. We already have our eyes on a few favorites, but we’d love to hear the Shirts Taste Good tees you want to wear right now. Share your personal favorites with us in the comments.

A tweet can have a maximum of 140 characters. A guide on how to use Twitter, well, that’s another matter. The UK government has one, and it took its author, Neil Williams, 20 pages and 36,215 characters to create it. 
is and how (and why) the UK government should go about using it, it enumerates a number of third party tools (for example, bit.lybit.ly
is to be used for links because it offers traffic analysis), talks about risks of using Twitter (for example, publishing embargoed news too early), and discusses the value of retweeting. Unlike some other Twitter guides, like the one from Wall Street Journal, it’s not focused on forbidding things and telling employees what NOT to do, which is a good example of how these types of guides should be done.
