February 25th, 2008Water Me, Seymour!
I’m not a huge Twitter fan.
Not because I don’t like it, but because I haven’t found a use for it yet. My less interesting friends only Twitter their dinner plans or what movie they’re watching. The more adventurous ones, besides being too busy to keep me updated, would probably be afraid of the legal consequences of Twittering their exploits.
If you do care what your friends are having for dinner, you may also be the type who wants to know when the plants need watering, which you can do with this Botanicalls Twitter. [Via Makezine.com]
“Botanicalls Twitter answers the question: What’s up with your plant? It offers a connection to your leafy pal via online Twitter status updates that reach you anywhere in the world. When your plant needs water, it will post to let you know, and send its thanks when you show it love.”
I have no particular use for this, but I like the concept.
Twitter from my apartment: “I’m on fire!”
Twitter from my oven: “Marc is burning dinner!”
Twitter from Saint Mark’s Comics: “There’s a sale on Number Six action figures!”
As for the plants, might I suggest replacing those needy beasts with the robotic venus flytrap pictured above? Your Pleo and Roomba need company.
