BakerTweet
April 23 2009
This genius system sends out a tweet from the baker’s shop whenever the bread is out of the oven, inviting customers to get their fresh bread while it’s still hot.
Runs on Arduino.
Made by Poke.

Great, but sucks for the guy who kind of knew the baking times or the neighbours that could smell the fresh batch and run down to get some without fighting a mob of sweet-tooth tweet-er-ers foaming at the mouth for that same fresh batch, more excited about the thrill of discovery enabled by their participation in the vanguard of connectedness rather than the quality of the baked goods.
Not to be sour or anything… I like the idea and people putting this out, but maybe not too much the infiltration of these sorts of things into every corner of our lives. Or maybe I love it just for that.
