Have you ever been watching a tv show and wondered where that awesome table came from? Or who made that hot shirt that [insert fav celeb here] was wearing? What about a site that tracks these items? Producing companies can add this info or people to contribute if they know a particular detail.

Xenote's iTag technology
http://www.xenote.com Little keychain thingie that takes a downloadable time-stamp everytime you click it. currently this timestamp is used to tell you what song or commercial was playing at the time on a given radio station (one per market in specific cities), but they want to expand it all over the place.

This is one of the things MPEG-4 is supposed to do. Someday. Apparently... |

Didn't they try this with the CueCat? My understanding is that they lost somewhere in the neighborhood of $140,000,000.00 and that hackers cracked the code almost immediately. They gave the CueCats away free, even thought they cost about $10.00 each to produce. |

The CueCat would read a special barcode off printed pages or even the televison and take you directly to the website of the manufacturer. you can still buy them on Ebay for around $3.00. You can download software and have a very inexpensive barcode reader. |
