A little application required.

We're going to have a little think about an application. Maybe on a phone.
But maybe not. Here are a few examples. Some serve a purpose, some are
just for fun.

BakerTweet is a way for busy bakers to tell the world that something hot
and fresh has just come out of the oven. They hit a button. All of their followers
get a Tweet.





ASDA put a code on your till receipt. You can enter it online and by pulling
in data from MySupermarket.co.uk, you can see how the price of every item
you bought compares to other supermarkets.


Here's the online interface. ASDA price guarantee

Amongst other things, this next iPhone app allows you to View Live departure
and arrival boards at all National Rail stations, with platform information.
Handy for that 'one-more-pint-or-next-train' conundrum.





And finally, 1000: Find Em All is like Pokemon but for the real world.
Using GPS, you have to track down hidden items both in the game world and
out on the streets around you.



Stay tuned to find out more...
