The skinny on MySoti
Since we first announced MySoti people have been emailing asking just what exactly it is and how it differs from Bountee.
Well, as we hit our final few weeks of development for this phase, we thought that it would be a good time to open up a little and explain just what it's all about.
MySoti - Make Your Stuff On The Internet - is a complete redevelopment of Bountee; and with it we are adding some amazing new features and some great new products. Some of which we are still finalising the details for so we won't show our entire hand today. Besides what will we have to talk about next week eh?
Bountee has been a great success in simplicity, with lots of people praising us on the ease of use and ability to create shirts in a matter of seconds. We also heard a lot of feedback from people saying that we were perhaps a little 'light' on features too; especially when it comes to reporting and recording shirt sales etc. Add to that a world of mails and comments asking us to produce work in other products; ranging from onesies to tea-towels and you'll see that we've had a lot to think about.
Well, we've listened hard - and using your feedback as well as our own experience of the site we think we've addressed all of these comments and then some!
Bountee will still have a home within the MySoti group of sites, but she'll be joined by her sisters Bibyu.com and Byoodoo.com; all three of which will join up to become the mighty MySoti - a bit like the dudes from Battle Of The Planets; or Power Rangers if you're younger than the old fart writing this!
Byoodoo we can't talk about right now - but tomorrow, we'll chat about Bibyu.

I checked out the beta. it's nice looking, but until it's functional there's not much I can say for it.
I hope it will be the answer to the current Bountee site that doesn't quite work. There are the infinite loops that everyone complains about, and I have yet to figure out how one really gets on the most wanted list (and thus is able to sell anything at all).
if all this can be eliminated in the new site then fantastic.
I love the idea of this company, and I want to support it. the concept is so much better than selling our souls to Threadless. but if you can't actually help designers make a sale then you ain't doing much.
good luck.
