W-41 t-shirts connect random people with your social media
If you’ve ever wished you could email a girl you thought was cute that you saw once in real life, you’ll like this new technology. W-41 allows for you to access the person’s facebook, myspace, blog or whatever else she has registered to this site. How it works is you would have to have the technology downloaded onto your phone, then when you see someone wearing the t-shirt with the logo you’d have to take a picture of it. Keep in mind you’d have to be close enough to do this.
If you want other people to be able to find you, you’d have to buy some of their clothing. They have three different shirts for guys and three for girls. One of the down sides is that yes, you could meet some new people this way, but you could also get a few creepy emails as well. There is also the annoying factor of knowing that someone is likely going to attempt to take your picture on their phone. Then if you don’t live in a large city, it’s highly unlikely anyone will know what the strange symbol on your back means. Either way, it’s still a cool way to meet new people. The shirts aren’t too expensive, but still a little pricey t-shirts are $49 and sweatshirts are $56. The download for you phone is completely free though.

This seems like a stalkers dream. Not sure anyone would really want to have their information be this public. Having a Facebook profile is one thing, but wearing it and displaying it to any and everyone is a bit extreme. Don’t you think?

[...] Ma come funziona la collezione di abiti W-41? E’ molto semplice: su ogni capo di abbigliamento di questa linea vi è un logo unico e personalizzato, creato dalla ditta al momento dell’acquisto, che racchiude informazioni su di un sito scelto dall’acquirente, che sia il suo Myspace, il suo blog oppure addirittura il suo sito ufficiale. Per leggere questo codice occorre un software dedicato, che è possibile scaricare gratuitamente dal sito di W-41 e che va installato sul proprio telefono cellulare. Una volta che il software avrà riconosciuto e decodificato il logo sulla vostra felpa, il proprietario del telefonino avrà accesso diretto al sito al quale il logo rimanda. Sul sito di W-41 è già possibile scegliere tra svariati modelli di magliette e felpe per lui e per lei, tutti disponibili in numerosi colori ed in vendita a 35 €. Se siete particolarmente imbranati con l’altro sesso, dunque, incrociate le dita: qualora il techfashion dovesse prendere piede, la vostra vita sociale potrebbe fare un grosso salto di qualità.[via Coolest Gadgets] [...]

that is something what I’m scared about. This kind of technology is really creepy. Don’t like it.
