Twitter is becoming one of the world’s best known social networking websites and there is no doubt about the fact that its evolution doesn’t end here and now. I don’t know why, but I have a feeling that it will get better and better up until something else will appear in the spotlight.



And if you don’t believe, maybe what I am about to tell you will make you feel sorry for doubting my words. The service has become so popular among people who use the Internet on a regular basis that even bakeries acknowledge the power is exercise on everyone. And if you can’t imagine how Twitter and bakeries can be part of the same sentence, let me tell you that the service can be used in order to keep their customers informed of their pastries.



It might be a good idea, even if for the moment there is only one BakerTweet system installed, ‘cause this is the name of the device, and this happened in the Albion Café in London. We don’t know if the system is going to be spread worldwide, but this is a very important first step.

Designed by Poke London, the BakerTweet is nothing but a very handy way for bakeries to send out messages about their fresh products coming out of the oven. Based on an Arduino board and Linksys Wi-Fi adapter, bundled in a box that is not only bakery-proof, but also very easy to use. The dial can be used to scroll through a list consisting of the baked products and the button is designed to send out a tweet that is pre-configured. There is a web-interface that does something magic: not only it gives you the chance to customize the messages, but it also allows you to add new products.

Unfortunately, the details about the price of the BakerTweet are not known for the moment.
