Bar Tag with Wiffiti

Bar tagWe took Ponzi’s car in to get an enema this morning, leaving us with an hour of free time to grab a bite to eat down the street. Few restaurants (in the area) were open at 10:30am, but Hurricane Cafe is open 24 hours a day. Turns out, they’ve got an amazing menu. What’s more, since they cater to a younger crowd (at all hours), they’ve hung a plasma TV above the bar - pictured here. At the bottom of the screen, you’ll read: “txt H2 + a message to 87884″ (go ahead, try it). Seconds after sending your text, you’ll see it bouncing around with the other messages on-screen. Even if you’re not there, the people who ARE there will see your message. Too freakin’ cool!

I had problems using it with my Smartphone at first (not having a subject area, I just needed to insert H2 and a space before typing my text message). As such, I received a few bounces: “Sorry, Wiffiti did not recognize your screen ID.” Dude, check it out - the Hurricane screen is online! What’s more, Wiffiti has a blog. I want one of these hanging on my wall. Had you heard about Wiffiti before? You gotta see it to believe it. I’ll take some txt soup to go!

[...] We love the fast and furious txts at Hurricane too, but we’re slightly biased.  Thanks to Chris Pirillo for a great blog post and screen pic. [...]

I really love the idea of introducing technology like this into social spaces. I think it gets really interesting when this technology encourages people to interact with each other. The “inventor of Pong and Founder of Chuck E CHeese” is building out a restraunt franchise to do just this:

I bought a baseball at a yard sale today. It was signed by Pete Mauro, Dickie Hunt, Ron King, A. J. Selman, Stan Williams, Neil Zink, Sudden Sam McDowell, Bernie Wieland, and others..
What do these people have in common?
Thanks
