VCwear.com is a pretty cool website with funny shirts for VCs... why not the same for startups/entrepreneurs?

social network that leverages peoples potential for ideas and knowledge rather than pokes and application spam (www.mindsomehead.com)The basic idea was to build a social network that allows for members to share their ideas and projects fast and in high quality. The key difference to facebook and myspace is, that it does not revolve around poking someone or playing movie quizzes, but rather on discussing projects and sharing open minded thoughts. Let me hear what you think !

3.iFundedThat - Social Investing for ALL of us! (ifundedthat.com)
the idea for iFundedThat.com is to allow ANYONE to invest [relatively] small amounts in the startups that they really like. Sort of like Kiva.org for homegrown entrepreneurs/startups that you think are cool.
Startups can select how much equity they want to provide to TDI (the actual investor) and what kind of money they are looking for... then Joe WannabeStartupInvestor comes along and buys investment credits... searches for startups he wants to fund and use the credits to do so. When his company hits the bigtime, Joe gets a shirt that says, for example.. "Twitter... I Funded That" AND he get's whatever the proper percentage would be for his portion of the TDI investment in the company.
Obviously this is pretty rough and there would be a lot of legal/regulatory hurdles, but how cool would it be for ANYONE to be able to invest in a startup?
