BakerTweet is a way for busy bakers to tell the world(send out messages via Twitter) that something hot and fresh has just come out of the oven. All of the baker's followers get a Twitter alert to tell them that it's bun-time. Or bread time. Or whatever. By Poke London. The BakerTweet installed an Arduino board and a Linksys Wi-Fi adapter into a single, bakery-proof box. The dial is used to scroll through a list of baked goods, the button will send out a pre-configured tweet.
"Everyone knows the best time to get your baked goods is when they're fresh out the oven. So we figured that this could be a killer use of Twitter. Letting followers know that fresh goodies are ready right now. But bakeries don't want laptops or phones lying around in the kitchen. Flour, eggs and technology don't mix so well.
So we built BakerTweet.
It's a bespoke piece of hardware (with Arduino-based guts) that allows our friends at Albion across the road to select what's just been baked and ping the relevant Twitter message to local customers. Meaning that you can time your trips to Albion to pick up the freshest freshness. " |
