A business has to send out a minimum of 100 shirts at $10.99 each to people who fit their criteria. What business is going to pay $1100 to reach such a small group, that can only be categorized by gender or age? If there were actually enough people on the site to pull out a usable demographic, I'd pony up the money today. Such is not the case. If I'm missing something about how it works, please enlighten me.

Crowdsourcing like Threadless is great - but you're still limited in what you can offer due to costs/inventory management. With Zazzle, you can take any and all great ideas from the community, make them available, let the best float to the top, and make each one uniquely customizable. I want a Firefox shirt with my personal URL on the back. This is an awesome example of what Zazzle can do for community-powered e-commerce.
