90% of startups will eagerly give you a free tshirt just for asking. They love the free marketing. No need to do stuff like submit builds, etc.

I have gotten free stuff from:

- IFTTT (socks)

- MixPanel

- CloudFlare

- Elastic

- infochimp

- pingdom

- moz

- rethinkdb

That's true. But the value of swag is increased when it's earned! :wink:

Meh, the only swag I ever got was one of those 3D hand tracking fancy things whose closed-source license wasn't compatible with blender and didn't work all that well on linux.

Wouldn't mind a pair of socks though...

Really like the Alexa skill thing, make me want dig into it. An Amazon echo for only 100 downloads seems easy to reach.
