My personal thing is a landing page I am putting up for personalized chopsticks: http://i.imgur.com/DyFIItZ.png http://i.imgur.com/DyFIItZ.png Hopefully I can get it launched next week and see if I can get some orders. I used these chopsticks as an extra gift to current customers and they seemed to like it and were wanting to order more, so that's why I decided to work on a separate page for those.

Nice. Some large hi-res photos showing the design would be awesome.

  Used the free trial of After Effects and a rotating display stand to make a spinning video of them: http://www.namechopsticks.com/static/chopsticks.mp4 http://www.namechopsticks.com/static/chopsticks.mp4 I was thinking of using them as a moving background, but that didn't seem to work out on iOS as it won't autoplay videos. Was fun though.

Slick idea. When you're thinking about marketing, don't forget weddings. Out of all the silly wedding schwag/gifts I've seen, chopsticks with my name on it would be pretty awesome. The wedding blog/forum niche is tough to break into, but could be a great marketing avenue for you, as they /love/ merchandise that can be customized to guests, particularly products that are new and still unique/uncommon.

I was in the middle of commenting on how laggy the input to your text box was being before I realized that I'm practicing a rather special brand of idocy this morning. Screenshot Saturday will take some getting used to.

What would be really cool is if you showed what they would look like with the name on them as you typed it.

Hey mate, Awesome idea and they look great. My only caveat would be the logo might put off corporate customers (who may be your biggest customers.)
