Tikitag: Virtualizing Your Physical World

This technology is the beginning of a new world for the internet. In the years ahead, the physical world will become virtualized, as the objects in your physical environment take on a digital presence on the web.  That package of steak at the grocery store will send recipes to your mobile device.  That television at your local electronics store will tell you if you’re not getting the best price.  That rising industry star at your next convention will share his/her business card with you by passing their watch next to yours.  This is the revolution that RFID technology promises to bring to the internet– the fusing of the physical world with its virtual representation online.

Tikitag can boast the proud claim that they are among the first to bring this technology to consumers.  Tikitag is an RFID tagging product and an online community that uses it.  With Tikitag, you can assign digital, online resources to physical objects.  Your car keys can be tagged to store your personal contact information in case they are lost.  A bouquet of flowers can be tagged to include a special message.  A business card can include a series of links to documents and web addresses that further define your message.  In all, any physical object that you wish can be tagged by Tikitag and be assigned an online resource.  The possibilities are endless…

Tikitags can be read by a Tikitag reader or specific mobile phones and other portable devices.  On October 1st, the Tikitag store will open and allow their users to begin building an internet presence for the physical world.  While this only scratches the tip of the iceberg for RFID technology on the web, it is a welcome leap toward the forthcoming global internet singularity.
