What if Web 2.0 concepts applied to everything in life?
Boing Boing posted a link to an amusing little video called Supermarket 2.0. The acting's nothing too special, and I can't help but wonder how this supermarket stays open with just 3 customers. But the concept is pure geek comedy gold. The store is completely web 2.0 compliant.
There are tags on all the products (H20, transparent, etc for water), RSS feeds for the eggs, and user comments on the milk. You can buy your products "Pandora-style." Just start with one object at the clerk will suggest other products you might want. Everything is free, but you have to accept a chocolate chip cookie for tracking purposes.
We'd make some point about whether we would actually put up with some of these practices in real life (such as allowing customers to examine your purchasing habits and buy items for you off your wishlist), but this is just a joke. Right?
