Have you heard of Tikitag? I first saw it at ShowStoppers in NYC and it officially launched on the 1st of October. No, it has nothing to do with tikis.

It’s a RFID system. You get RFID stickers, you put them on stuff, and then you place the tag near or on a reader connected to your computer. Your computer will do some pre-programmed action like open a website, play music or whatever.

It’s almost a good idea. The problem is they are marketing it directly to consumers. They want you to tag a picture, send the picture to your grandma and then your grandma will swipe the picture to the reader and the computer will open a Flickr slideshow or something else.

Will this thing succeed? Keep reading.

If you haven’t heard of a company called Tikitag, then you might be hearing more of the Alcatel-Lucent venture. Tikitag has put out a product that allows a user to put a RFID tag anything, anywhere.

The Tikitag works as easy as Post-Its, which allows for RFID technology to like any offline device will link with information online. So, if you have anything that you want to put on a product, such as information on a business card, just use a Tikitag.
