Startup Schwag – May 2008 Shipment

My much anticipated shipment arrived on Friday from Startup Schwag. This month the goodies include a nicely fitted (American Apparel made) t-shirt from Ligit.com, along with other items from the companies listed below. Check out some of these sites and support your freshly debuted online startup companies. :=)

Lijit – When readers search for information in real life, their first step is to typically seek out a friend for the answer. If their friend doesn’t have the answer they need, someone in that friend’s social network may. Eventually, they get an answer they trust, because it came from a source they trust. Your readers can now have that same experience on the web and it all starts with the source they trust. That source: the blog publisher.
