Using some simple word play, Shitter has started a business selling toilet paper that has tweets printed on it. To sweeten the deal, however, the tweets aren’t just random tweets, they’re directly from the feed of the customer.
When ordering the toilet paper, one has the option of choosing tweets from their main feed or from their timeline. If one doesn’t want their own words on the bathroom tissue, they can choose to have the tweets from anyone’s feed printed on their loo roll. That means if one so chooses, they could wipe their bum with the words of Kanye West of Hilary Clinton.
Shitter will attract consumers because of its comical, ironic appeal.

Now you can get paid or pay a friend back on the spot with this new feature called Bump Pay made for iPhones and Androids. Once a feature on an app, Bump is now stepping out to launch a standalone app.
Bump Pay makes it easy so you don’t have to run to the bank and waste time, as it lets you pay someone by tapping both phones together. All there is to it is typing in the amount you’d like to transfer; the money is then sent through PayPal, where they take care of the rest of the process. There are no fees for Bump Pay, which is sort of ironic considering its purpose.
“We think of Bump Pay as solving a specific problem — helping people repay each other in person after having dinner or after paying for gas on a road trip, ” says Dave Lieb, CEO of Bump.

Hermès has announced its latest limited edition scarf collaboration will be with Japanese photographer Hiroshi Sugimoto.
The partnership is in honor of the third edition of the luxury label’s Hermès Editeur project, which intertwines the world of fine arts and crafts with the realm of textiles.
Sugimoto’s limited edition silk scarves have been inspired by his “Colors of Shadow” project, and will be presented at the Art Basel contemporary art fair this June.
Hermès creative director Pierre-Alexis Dumas and Sugimoto chose 20 of the artist’s Polaroids depicting color gradations to be printed by ink-jet on silk twill. The limited edition line will be small scale, with WWD reporting March 26 that only seven of each design will be produced.
