*In an alternate world there's a cyber-situation where RFID networks are huge and social networks are a relatively minor enterprise. But here's an arphid-Facebook mashup that oughta make Katherine Albrecht grab her microphone and yell.

"RFID + Social Networking = Reach
"A hands down crowd favorite at RFID Journal LIVE! ((("events are the new magazines"))) were several Facebook ‘Like’ and ‘Check-In’ kiosks developed by ODIN.
"Each kiosk included ODIN’s Facebook-ready software known as EasyConnect (which is integrated into Facebook’s RFID presence modules) and ThingMagic ultra-high frequency (UHF) RFID readers. Check-in stations were strategically placed throughout the conference areas, allowing attendees to update their Facebook profiles by checking in via Facebook Places. Similarly, ‘Like’ kiosks located on the exhibit floor and in major speaking sessions helped build Facebook audiences for RFID Journal, ODIN, ThingMagic and other event sponsors.
"These kiosks allowed attendees to extend their personal experiences from the physical world to the online world in real-time, expanding reach and influence well beyond the boundaries of the conference. (((Another very interesting modern sentence that deserves to be read three times.)))
"A recent blog post from ODIN includes some very interesting statistics about this social media and RFID solution. A full case study of the solution has also been published by ThingMagic and can be found here. (((
