I bet you have a $hit load of shirts! lol
I wouldn’t mind keeping some of the spare for you. LOL
There must be tons of shirts by now. Do you keep all of them?
That’s a really cool name, I guess they are competing Ancestry dot com?
Cool! I only know a few relatives so building a family tree sounds like a great way to get to know more.
how do you wn? or get a free tshirt?
I think these are specially sent to Jeremy for PR purposes.
Geni has been around for a while and is a VC funded startup, run by the same guys who run Yammer.
For my 2 cents I like the fact you do the T-shirt thing as it gives exposure to lots of startups. I do think you should not cover well funded groups like Geni as they can afford real PR whilst it also takes away the chance from real bootstrapped startups who dont have the cash to market.
It’s a great promotional opportunity. I think it’s open to everyone so it’s up to the startups to send their shirts and have them featured here.
Good point. A lot of the websites and companies I’ve seen featured here were already well-established. Still, it could be because they’re the ones who do send their shirts here.
Did the jacket come with the shirt?
How far back do they go? Family rumor says there’s a pirate somewhere on the family tree though I don’t anyone has actually gone and have one built. It should be fun to find out if there’s any truth to that rumor.
I haven’t tried it myself but it says in their site that you can invite relatives to collaborate with you. I guess how far back your tree goes would depend on inputs from relatives as well. Should be fun.
Black sheep of the family, eh?
Did you build your family tree already? How was it?
That’s a cool sweater, it looks like it glows in the dark!
