Friends Week continues, yesterday I posted a video with the Coca-Cola Friendship Machine. Well this morning I red in my Twitter feed an article from Mashable about a new PepsiCo Social vending Machine.
This new machine invites users to send free soda to their friends. To do so, users select a beverage and enter the recipient’s name, mobile number and personalized text message with a code redeemable at another vending machine. There is as well the possibility to make it even more personal by recording a short video with the machine.
Although this machine is awesome, the lack of Facebook or Twitter tie-ins/connect is an unbelievable omission. But I strongly believe, considering the experiment with Facebook-enabled objects, a vending machine tie-in with the social network seems imminent.
