Unfortunately, you can’t see the back of the shirt but there is a “Follow Me” button and a tweet that reads “In reality, nothing should be left unsaid.”  Another image of the twitter bird also reappears on a twig branch. 

The www.doyoutweet.com site is currently under construction and we hope to officially launch within the coming weeks.  We have a number of shirts already printed and we hope to have more designs, color schemes, and other tweet messages to add in the near future.  Thinking long term, we hope to expand the selection and allow the customer to customize their shirt with their own twitter screen name and favorite tweet.  Stay tuned for new updates by following us on Twitter @doyoutweet or by checking out our website.  This is a great side project of ours and we are excited to work on something that shows our appreciation to Twitter and the amazing Twitter community!

Note:  All shirts are custom designs of urban10 [interactive]
