My son-in-law Garry Bartle sent me a link to this innovative use of Twitter:

“Botanicalls Kits let plants reach out for human help! They offer a connection to your leafy pal via online Twitter status updates to your mobile phone.”

Just think of all the people and things we could potentially attach Twitter-enabled sensors to: Grandma, Fido, Fluffy, my son’s car …

Thanks, Garry.  I needed this bright spot of geeky tech stuff on this dreary Friday afternoon.
