techradar.com — Nine years ago, at the tender age of 20 when he was still living in a small apartment in Chicago, he submitted a T-shirt design to an online contest held by a small web design festival in London. He won. Today, he's the founder and CSO of multimillion dollar empire Threadless, the biggest community-centred T-shirt store on the web.

Threadless was really the first website that really utilized crowdsourcing, but I'm kind of surprised they didn't even understand what they were doing was crowdsourcing until 3 years into it.

They started the crowsource t-shirt idea, but shirt.woot.com now does this aswell. I see shirt.woot a pretty decent competitor based on their weekly theme for shirts to limit some of the duplication that threadless has to manually moderate.
