And there’s a little something extra for a random group of subscribers… We shipped out 20 ipod shuffles to a mostly random selection of subscribers who’ve been with SS since the beginning and had been blogging/tweeting about SS. We’re going to keep that party going as new and interesting random schwag comes in. More surprises next month.
Speaking of which, we’re shipping a little later this month (still around the 15th). We’d planned to ship DataPortability this month (the logo design winner announced on TechCrunch). It was amazing to see how quickly stickers with that logo became available at Web2.0Expo. Turnaround was same day. And then the new logo, created b/c the last one infringed, also infringed. So we have a surprise shirt this month =)

Guys, i still don’t get this SS. When it’s time to write to you? (last month i’ve get it 15th).
May 7th at 5:17 pm
@n: Customs can sometimes be problematic – let’s wait until the 15th and we’ll refund if it hasn’t arrived yet? Let me know if it shows up in the meantime!

D’oh, you mean if I didn’t have to sign off for a couple of months due to work issues I could have been up for a Shuffle?
Oh well, it’s good to see you giving back to the supporters Roddy!
I’m loving the tees that I’ve gotten, any chance of a Chumby one though?
May 9th at 5:37 pm
@Andrew: I think you’ll be grandfathered in =)
We’ll need to put chumby to a vote.

Hmm customs seized my schwag. I hope this means that there is a iPod inside
May 13th at 10:56 am
@jagermo- keep me posted on that one =) I wonder what they’re doing seizing things.
May 13th at 12:52 pm
@roddy: ok, thx. 13.05.2008 18:49 – still no SS ;( I’m going on holiday in friday so i go contact with you right after back (26 may).

I’m a dual citizen and I live in a border town! Customs and I are like fried rice and chocolate pudding…
May 14th at 12:26 am
And now that I think about it, I’m Stateside, so they have no reason to seize my schwag. But, if you think about it, they could have read schwag and mistook it for some sort of drug related item…

@roddy: talked to customs today. I just had to send them a copy of the paypal transaction. The customs guy said: “Stupid postal service, to dumb to see, that a shirt is below 22 Euros.”
I’ll keep you informed, if this is going to happen on a regular basis, you should think about putting a copy of the paypal-transaction in ZeBag.

Thanks for the iPod! Wow, that was cool…
