    What about copyright issues? Someone came up with something similar to this for Twitter and now it is no longer in operation.

    Can't recall the name though. Essentially people were grabbing tweets from people who didn't want their tweets placed on t-shirts.

    Thanks for the post, Adam. I will keep you updated as things continue to move forward.

    Anyone who wants to get in the app without clicking "allow" can access it at http://statusking.net.

    Just goes to show you the high market value of inanity even in tough times. Or should I say high "tweet trend" value?

    Perhaps the single stupidest thing I have seen all week, and I've seen a lot.
    May I suggest an alternative: take $18 and burn it, then hit yourself in the crotch with a hammer. It's equally stupid, but at least you won't annoy anyone else.

    Interesting application. Too bad it's really not about thinking of the app first but getting more users ;). We've been getting a lot of requests lately about developing apps related to status updates. One thing to be careful is that Facebook is now monitoring what status updates an admin can send, even if users have agreed to it. Alot of random brands, as if this isn't a no brainer, would try to have their names spammed through people's status.

    When dealing with such large masses as facebook, 'social media transparency' goes out there door and advertising again becomes a number game.

    The application is pretty cool. I happen to know the guys that came up with it. Really inventive.

    I'd wear a tee with a funny status on it in an instant. No one else would have one like it. I'd just want it to be a tee with cute lines, not a boy's t-shirt style.

    "Status King reminds me of CNN’s option to get any headline on the site printed as a t-shirt, except it’s a lot more clever and more culturally relevant, at least if your friends use Facebook."

    Ha, and a lot more likely to generate sales as well. Honestly, who would want a CNN headline as a t-shirt?
