The Alcatel-Lucent-backed Tikitag sure has managed to keep a low profile until now, but it looks to have made quite a splash at the DemoFall conference this week, where it showed off its RFID tagging system that's apparently set to go into public beta in less than a month. The system, which Tikitag confidently boasts will "build the internet of things," promises to let you add an RFID tag to anything you like and associate it with a webpage or application -- for instance, a business card that links to page with all your social networking information or, less usefully, a cube that you can use to control iTunes. Intrigued? You'll apparently be able to pick up the Tikitag reader and ten tikitags for $50 on October 1st, with boxes of 25 tikitags also available for those looking to get a little more ambitious.

Is the RFID stickers are cheap, around 25cents each or less.
I could see it useful to use in a productions line type of warehouse.
I sometimes work at a big flower place that arrange and deliver around 100 flower setups a day.
once in a while, we loose track where it is.
If they could slap on a sticker on the vase so we could track the order:
if it gone in the cooler, is now setting on the table
or been put in the delivery van etc.
Yes.
Warehouses and production facilities have been doing this for years - with RFID much more sophisticated than anything tiki currently provides.
Someday even your facility might step into the new millennium.
