A bakery in Shoreditch, London called Albion Cafe is now able to let their loyal customers know what’s fresh out of the oven thanks to the ever-growing social oddity known as Twitter. (@AlbionsOven) The BakerTweet is an Arduino-based box equipped with wifi that allows someone at the cafe to turn the dial to what’s cooking, and then simply hit a button to send a tweet to those following. The BakerTweet was actually developed by Poke, a “digital creative agency” who just happens to be located across the street from the Albion Cafe. Coincidence? Obviously not, but getting fresh baked goods first is as good a use for Twitter as I can think of.

That is such a clever idea! It seems like tons of companies are now using twitter in some very unique ways! I saw this new start up called i360 who are very popular on twitter… they make some cool looking headbands with built in headphones for your ipod. No more annoying wires while you work out, snowboard, etc. Check them out: http://www.ithreesixty.com
It's really innovative!I guess we just need a little creativity and confidence to make things works. Nice one!
