CafePress allows anyone to reward their self-expression by finding or making
merchandise that speaks to their interests and passions. With 6 million users
and 150 million+ products (10 will get made while you read this), our
Marketplace is an instantaneous and often colorful reflection of the public
discourse. From the Obama groundswell to Spitzer’s demise, today’s headlines
are barely read before we see thousands of designs joining the debate. Call it
“T-shirt blogging” or just call it Web 2.0 – either way, the voice of the people
is loud as ever, even when expressed via the unlikely canvas of a thong.
