When do the fresh buns come out of the oven? Just ask Twitter…
Author: shopbabbles20 May
Technology is developing fast and now even bakers have found their way into the world of Twitter.
How? – By introducing the BakerTweet
BakerTweet allows businesses to use Twitter to communicate in real-time about offers, pricing and stock from a special device that can withstand kitchen peril and is much simpler to operate than any laptop or a mobile.
The prototype, is not yet available to everyone - however the device is currently installed at the Albion Cafe in London. With a quick click of a button, the Albion staff can tell the world that fresh baked goodies have just come out of the oven.
BakerTweet means fans of fresh bakeries no longer having to settle for frumpy rolls as they receive a Tweet directly informing them when the fresh buns have come out of the oven.
In my opinion BakerTweet signifies the start to the real-time era of Twitter. The usage of Twitter for real-time purposes will increase within a short period of time. So there is a possibility of pizza places twittering to their clients when their orders are ready for pick-up or mum’s using Twitter to tell their kids they have to come home because supper is ready.
This makes me wonder whether real-time Twitter will also replace the classical SMS on the long run?
You never know what is going to happen. The only thing you know for sure is that -in these days -Nothing is impossible!

It like the idea that the pizza man gives me a Twitter-post when my ordered pizza waits for me
I’m hungry
Well informed non stop .. that´s great! No time will be wasted any more while waiting for delicious food.
I think there is no advantage of twitter when you just use it for a specific client. The real advantage is to communicate to bigger groups. Game producers could get in contact with their customers by providing hint to the games and at the same time prmoting add-ons. Another opportunity is to use it for regional marketing activities.
I really like the idea, though I wouldn’t use it to know when the buns get out of the oven….maybe to know when my beer is tapped

Ha…yeah, that would be really nice…but you know what would be even better? ==> If somebody twittered me whenever somebody farted on the bus I am about to take in the morning…that would make my day!
