Today I got this elite shirt in the mail!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everyone knows I am a t-shirt whore:
And on the back it says:
Now I railed Technorati a bit a few months back when I did not get there whole WTF thing but I get it now… its hot… thanks for the shirt!
The fact of the matter is I really do love Technorati and no I am not just saying that cause they sent me a t-shirt.

Looks a bit like an early draft of the WickedFire logo.

WTF, nice shirt Shoe! It’s always cool to score a new shirt and one day I will hit the jackpot and score myself a ShoeMoney shirt.
[Reply]
God you really are cheap Shoe
[Reply]
Half of one heh.
[Reply]
Nice shirt. Looking cool as well. *grins. Wish I had one of those too!
[Reply]
It reminds me of the AudioSlave logo .. Chris Cornell = Awesome.
[Reply]
I prefer the Wicked Fire logo. The Technorati one reminds me of late 90s skateboard designs.. ala Black Label skates.
[Reply]
I wish technorati will send me a shirt like that too even just for remembrance. I love it.
[Reply]
Oh yeah! That’s right, work it baby!
Errr…
What I meant to say was nice shirt Shoe, lookin’ nifty.
[Reply]
haha yeah it does indeed, the wickedfire one looks much better though
[Reply]
BTW, anyone actually using that WTF stuff? I used it like in the first day to test it out, and seemed a waste of time
[Reply]
To me it sounds that WTF is hot because of the Tshirt
Who use it anyway?
[Reply]
Nope
A t-shirt might change my mind though…
[Reply]
It’s amazing what some t-shirt shwag can do huh?
[Reply]
I tried to click on your shirt but it wouldn’t let me bookmark? What gives?
[Reply]
Some people hate the WTF thing and want them to change the name, but WTF is perfect! Oh, nice t-shirt, BTW. :p
[Reply]
so whats up with the whole wtf thing?
[Reply]
jup nice shirt .. i luv shirts too .. like to wear famous brands on my body
[Reply]
The only time I have clicked on WTF and actually seen something was on Shoemoney’s technorati page. Nice shirt.
[Reply]
It’s Technorati’s Digg-like service for blogs called “Where’s the Fire?”
[Reply]
I’m going to make some t-shirts and send you one shoe!
[Reply]
Good job man, wish I had that shirt
[Reply]
The shirt is awesome. Now you should ask for a second and auction it off for a good cause.
[Reply]
I got the same impression. I just don’t get a lot out of it.
[Reply]
Yup.. “Where’s the Fire” is a REALLY dumb name though.
[Reply]
Yeah.. if I had to choose between WTF, Wicked Fire and Black Label.. I’ll definitely pick Black Label.. they have some wicked hot shirts.
[Reply]
hey! not a bad idea plus it will give me another chance to plug auctionads!
[Reply]
Dude, I want a shirt!!
[Reply]
Weeeee !
I been trying to get a SHOEMONEY HAT AND TEE from you for AGES !!
Here in oz we miss out on most conferences etc, so I never get a chance to ask in person.. and I’m a T whore too !!!
You’re just teasing me arent you !??
Damn, Damn, Damn !!!
[Reply]
I’m sure the WTF thing is wonderful, but all I get right now is:
‘Where’s the fire? Somewhere in our service, evidently. Watch for smoke and try back again later.’
WTF ??.. (Shoe your blog is too popular)
[Reply]
In agreement here.
It just sounds so ‘politically correct.’
Ughh..
[Reply]
Sweet man nice Tee. Its hard not to like a cool frebie!
[Reply]
Wicked! Anyone send me a shirt and I would be sure to grab it up.
[Reply]
WTF?!..i mean sweet.
[Reply]
Well, they are getting better all the time. Nobody does it perfect in the first shot.
[Reply]
It is pretty dumb, but sometimes that’s what it takes to get a cool acronym like WTF.
[Reply]
actually that tshirt marketing deal is not a bad one. Considering that people usually post on their blogs when they get those tshirts (with a backlink) and considering that you can probably outsource the tshirts for a couple of dollars each, its better than Text Link Ads
[Reply]
Yup.. its a good tactic but I think this time Technorati just meant it as a nice gesture.. Technorati hardly needs a link back or more exposure lol
[Reply]
i throw all logo and other goofy design printed tee’s in the trash where they belong.
[Reply]
Haha you should hook me up for one of those t-shirts! Anyways congratulations!
[Reply]
Huh?
[Reply]
Nope, it just seemed “BLAH”.
[Reply]
It’s flopping… or flopped?
[Reply]
Excellent idea. You could one up it again by having the affiliates link to that auction specifically w/ their auctionads and have some incentive for the one that generates the lead to the winning bid! Muuahahahah!
[Reply]
Nice T-shirt!!!
[Reply]
I like the T-shirt!
[Reply]
i’m also a t-shirt junkie.Can you sell me your shoemoney t-shirt?i like to have it.
[Reply]
I’m also a huge T-shirt fan, mostly weather and storms T’s, but I’d love one of those Shoemoney T’s.
[Reply]
Sweet shirt! I want one.
[Reply]
Yeah, that acronym sure it catchy. Makes people think.
[Reply]
I reckon he should get a Tee & Hat, sign them with a scrawl, (in fact, get a few big names to sig them), then put them to auction on ebay.
He could donate the proceeds to charity, and someone would wind up with a couple of groovy keepsakes..
What do you think Shoe ?
[Reply]
The design mate, the design.
[Reply]
Not cheap! Opportunity aware. Heck i want one of those t-shirts.
[Reply]
A perfect way to market yourself send your T-shirt to famous blogger and it will create hype. I think they send you for advertisment purpose? correct me if i am wrong.
[Reply]
And by the time you receive the t-shirt, your position in now #47…
Cheers
[Reply]
I have to admit, I *still* don’t see the point of WTF.
[Reply]
Shoe,
Really you have to do something with your appearance man..Its nice to get checks from Google.But you need not grow that gobble gobble under your neck any further..Since google started useing the Quality Score Seriously ya startin to look like some scary cartoon turkey guy lol ..and Who dresses you? Stevie Wonder..you need a makeover..dude you report some kewl industry stuff but you look like ole Tom Turky…lol
[Reply]
Looks cool on you…..
but
Terrific on me….
So send it to me…. but i love shoemoney brand… so send it to me rather than this one….
[Reply]
its too cool shoe…
[Reply]
Heh. WTF is the deal with WTF?
[Reply]
Its an OK way to get some traffic to your blog.. but I think forums are actually more easy to use and fun..
[Reply]
Matt, you’re hilarious. Taboo!
[Reply]
I have a totally unrelated question about the $500,000 Azoogle check. It says that it was photographed but it doesnt look like it — in the car reflection you can not see the check, only the blue shirt with the empty hands. Some Photoshop work?
[Reply]
nice tee!…lol
[Reply]
True, but it is much more suited for the general public.
[Reply]
Matt, you would have skin like that too if you lost half your bodyweight!
[Reply]
I want that shirt!:) hehehehe, nice though
[Reply]
I gotta ask, what self respecting man isn’t a t-shirt whore these days? I was a fridge whore when my Google fridge came last year; man has that gotten some quality use…
[Reply]
Glad you got sent a shirt, looks cool. Technoratis marketing still sucked though since most people watching TV during the times their ads were on probably have no idea what Technorati is anyway.
[Reply]
I never heard of the WTF from Technorati, i will check it out
[Reply]
Wow, that’s an awesome shirt - what’s a girl gotta do??? Be good now!
[Reply]
Nice shirt! How many free shirts do you have now?
[Reply]
wowwwwwwww… a beautiful t-shirt!
[Reply]
Wow!!! It’s a cool shirt, hope i could get one. tell how?
[Reply]
You look like Phil Stacey from American Idol
[Reply]
Heyyyyy shoe,
Today you went to 48th….. on Technorati …. ???
[Reply]
You gotta check it out man, they have been there for a pretty long while now.
[Reply]
Man you have a weird shaped head.
You remind of of the Film the cone heads
[Reply]
I must agree with that. There is a similarity with wickedfire
[Reply]
Agreed, the Wicked Fire works so well because of the nature of its members
[Reply]
I visited Technorati and did a search for Shoemoney and noticed no WTF!…so I added one :-). I didn’t want you to have WTF shirt but not WTF listing.
[Reply]
Nice t-shirt. It would be better if it said “where’s the fire” on the front though.
[Reply]
Im going to look into the WTF area on Tech, I never heard of it
[Reply]
that’s awesome, i still don’t get it, do I get a t-shirt now? I’m not a fan of theirs in general because my blog’s ranking there sucks while i’ve been linked by the LA Times and NY Times and have a page rank 5 yet am in the bowels of hell in Technorati land. Bitter? a little bit
I also know none of my posts will make the WTF area 
[Reply]
I want one now:(
[Reply]
At first I thought the whole Technorati T-shirt thing was lame, but I’m coming around since it’s laundry day….
[Reply]
wtf is wtf?
[Reply]
What do we have to do to get one?
[Reply]
that shirt would be awesome if it didn’t have the url on the back!
[Reply]
…or the logo on the front
