Everyone knows that professional conference goers like myself attend events not to listen to presentations, not to network but to collect schwag. Over the past couple of years I’ve done fairly well collecting tech t-shirts and I decided to create a weekly series critiquing tech companies t-shirt offerings in the expectation that a company with a great t-shirt is a prime candidate to have a great product also.

Recently I spent an intense two weeks of highly concentrated t-shirt gathering event attendance in the Bay area and Denver. At the Glue conference in Denver, it seemed that every man and his dog was talking about cloud telephony – it really was flavor of the day.
One of the cloud telephony vendors at the show was twilio and they had loud and proud t shirts to garner some attention. Personally I like ‘em, not sure if it’d make me chose twilio’s product but, ah well…
