My tikitag stuff arrived in the post today and I’ve spent the last several hours making something almost entirely useless.
what sat on the mat? from nikkipugh on Vimeo.
Tikitag application – .bat file – command line – Bmail – posterous – rss – twitterfeed – twitter
There’s probably a better way of doing this (ie without the time delay) with the twitter API, but I don’t know how to do that. Yet.
Thanks to @Bookmore, @bounder and @karmadillo for their input.
Almost entirely useless, but, as you have had the perspicacity to perceive, entirely necessary.
Mat-sattage certainty is a must in this age – it simply isn’t enough to blithely go ahead and assume that it was the cat who sat on the map. You. Need. Facts.
Yes, tikitag has now become touchatag, and yes the re-launch happened the day after I wrote this post, and by golly yes this relaunch included an application for tweeting, however, let me ask you, you may now know an iguana has sat on the mat, but do you know how many times? Do you?
Well my friend, the answer to that may very well be yes if you have the iguana incrementor(TM) functionality installed on your personal computer.

“Entirely useless”?! I completely disagree. If not for your ingenious application of touchatag (the name got changed) technology, how would anyone know who sat on the mat? How?
I thought this one was interesting, too:
