Posting a Twitter address is easy to do online, but until now there have been few offline opportunities for consumers and businesses to recruit new Twitter followers. Jumping at the entrepreneurial opportunity, StickyTwits (@stickytwits) designs stickers featuring Twitter addresses for easy distribution in the analogue world.
The idea for StickyTwits came from a signage designer and a marketing expert who wanted to stick their Twitter URLs on their cars, computers, office windows, etc. The Australian venture now sells customized stickers made from professional grade vinyl and durable ink, for AUD 14.95 per set. Each sticker pack contains 30 multicoloured customized stickers—15 large (292x50 mm) and 15 small (145x25 mm)—which come in four seasonal colour schemes: spring, summer, autumn and winter.
Obviously, StickyTwits is a niche business and depends on Twitter's continued popularity. But it's a fun example of entrepreneurs latching on to the latest buzz to launch a side business on the fly.

Interesting - they've stolen the idea from the "Hi My Name Is..." stickers that graffiti artists used to get their tag out fast. When Myspace users tried graffiting or tagging their urls all it did was lead the police to easily trace and therefore prosecute people for flypostering, property damage and more. Have fun stickytwits!
Chungaiz -- I don't think these stickers are meant for tagging on lampposts and other public property. They're for sticking on your laptop, your bicycle, etc.
your right! we at StickyTwits wholeheartedly support a Permission based sticking policy. Stick your stickers responsibly and only on equipment, products, cars, windows you own or have permission to stick these. Dont stick them on animals or children... but they are good for hair removal!
