- programminggeek 12y agoI'm not sure you understand how much people love stickers and personalization in general.
- hagbardgroup 12y agoYeah, but it's not like there aren't a lot of companies already out there making personalized stickers. There are many of them. A marginal innovation in sticker-making is something interesting for Sticker Makers Quarterly; not the flagship magazine for thinkfluential technological super-innovation.
