Our favorite item from the March Hot Sheet was stickybits® (http://hotsheet.me/70/1).
What is stickybits® you ask?
stickybits® is a way to combine social networking with
real-life, tangible objects. The iPhone and Android apps allow you
to scan anything with a barcode and attach an image, video, audio
or text, this is known as a 'bit'. The next time the barcode is
scanned, all of the previously attached bits are available for the
entire world to see. stickybits® also tracks the location of
the scan and generates a map to view where all of the scans are
located around the world. Check out the stickybits® live

Living in Milwaukee, it's common to have one hand holding a
phone and the other a beer, so naturally we have stuck some bits to
some of our favorites.

You can also generate your own barcodes to have bits attached.
We are implementing this into future Hot Sheet issues
beginning with the most recent, Issue 71.
