Bakery innovates and turns to Twitter

The updates are sent using BakerTweet, a small, white bakery-proof wireless device that sends messages to subscribers on the Internet, such as "Lovely loaves just out of the oven. Hurry," or "Hot Cross Buns -- fresh and hot like it's name... come and get them!

Another innovative use of Twitter. Opens up tons of ideas and opportunities.

I wonder why I'm coming across/ showing increasing interest in Twitter and Twitter-related stories recently. For the past few days I've seriously been contemplating reviving regular use of Twitter. I'm not sure though; let's see.

And that's how it started

On a slightly related note, I just happened to pass by twitterholic.com today and noticed that I'm the 119th most followed twitterer in Mumbai. I'm surprised it's that high, considering I quit actively twittering back in September. In fact, since then, my followers have increased by almost 20 (that's a 50% increase). And the highest ranked person I know on that list is my friend Maneesh (@itravin) who's at #55. Considering that he quit Twitter right about the time I did, I think that reflects on Twitter's lack of popularity in Mumbai, or rather India as a whole.

Then again, I don't care much about Twitter really. I've used it in the past only for personal updates, not professional, and to that effect I think it's quite a pointless time hog. My account is alive only to drive a little traffic to my blog :)
