- Mizzike, on 02/26/2008, -2/+14Cool, but it looks like too much work for me. Just wait for the iPhone 2.0 -- just stick it in the plant and walk away. ;-) It already shows satellite pictures, cooks you breakfast, walks your dog...

- breckinshire, on 02/26/2008, -0/+4These plants are getting goddamn bossy.
- kukote, on 02/26/2008, -0/+4why not connect it to a water source so that it will automatically water the plant when it needs it?
- MixMastaKooz, on 02/26/2008, -4/+7Ok...what happens when people follow your plants?
"Hey Mix, get that green thumb from out of your ass! Your chiles and cilantro are in trouble!!" D'oh - qbyte, on 02/26/2008, -0/+3I'd still forget to water them.
- sexybobo, on 02/26/2008, -0/+3Is this the article kevin rose mentioned on the townhall last night?

...ps does this count as 'talking to plants' - marv1983, on 02/26/2008, -0/+3perfect for the 21st century man with gadgets and no memory for house keeping
- noseeme, on 02/26/2008, -0/+2Can I use twitter to tell those little green ***** to leave me alone?
- chrisaug18, on 02/26/2008, -0/+2I wonder if the plug in the town hall stream last night helped this get to the front page
- Zaggynl, on 02/26/2008, -0/+2So, you make a whole system to 'make the plants page you', but you don't put a water tank and faucet there?
I guess it makes you exercise :] - bamafun, on 02/26/2008, -1/+3just when you think you've seen and heard it all ..... something like this comes along !
- Barnolde, on 02/26/2008, -0/+2What if the plants are hard to reach?
- xxl3w, on 02/26/2008, -0/+2Yea, your job at the local Mcdonalds is really helping those starving kids too.
- superharmonic, on 02/26/2008, -0/+1Cool! Now can you make my dentist Twitter me when I am due for a check up? Or make my car Twitter me when it needs an oil change?
- xxl3w, on 02/26/2008, -1/+2it shows satellite pictures?!!?? ZOMFG, does the army know about this!?!?! That's cutting edge. How is it POSSIBLE for a mobile device to pull up google maps? It never amazes me on how far technology can go.
- cashmaster, on 02/26/2008, -1/+2OK, people are dying of thirst and starvation around the world, and people are getting paid to connect a few wires to a plant so it can tell us when it's hungry. Great, glad we're moving forward.
- sexybobo, on 02/26/2008, -0/+1Who would make their plants hard to reach? That seems so very mean. I know you need water, but I'm going to make you hard to reach. "Think like a cactus!"
- K31TH3R, on 02/26/2008, -0/+1Plants aren't supposed to be annoying. Don't give them the means to be. :(

- inactive, on 02/26/2008, -0/+1wow an interesting article in 2 months.
- pinchduck, on 02/26/2008, -2/+3Lowest Cost Meds! Ch3@p M1racle Gr0w!
- TigertheLion, on 02/26/2008, -0/+1Hopefully they will invent something before you shrivel, and die.
- xiangxianni, on 02/16/2009, -0/+1"Are the complete, free tcp/ip stacks for AVR (Aurduino), PIC, MSP430, ARM, Freescale (coldfire, et al), etc so difficult to learn that open hardware needs to take these shortcuts?"
If you are only looking for a web server on a static IP, then these seem to do OK (of course, you could just use an Xport by itself as a web server). I've used a PIC board pre-programmed as a web server.

However if you want to have a dependable DHCP address and initiate general UDP or TCP sessions, I've found the PIC stacks incredibly annoying to use and often bug-ridden. I suspect the AVR stacks are the same way.
The Arduino/Xport solution is easy to set up and use and is very dependable. - inactive, on 02/26/2008, -0/+1LOL! A tech link on digg? I hope you know your ruining the site for everyone! Now who can guess what tag I should have put at the end of this comment?
- paul7986, on 02/26/2008, -0/+1Next they use that Social Alarm Clock to wake u up telling you, "feed me, feed me, hey wake up Im thirsty!"
- ronin691, on 02/26/2008, -0/+1Dugg. Waiting for the Pownce equivalent, but let's your send a 42 megabyte .wav file to the plant.

- genaperezaj, on 06/01/2008, -0/+0everything you wanted to know about north carolina
http://north-carolina-services.com - lartones, on 02/26/2008, -1/+1when i was in university,one of my classes had these huge ugly vine plants that were very healthy, so me and a classmate poured about 2 litres of ammonia into one of their pots. over time, alot of it's leaves started to die as well as it's vines. But, a month into the "experiement" the plant grew new vines, it just didnt want to die.
I wonder how much it was twittering after that? - alexandrend, on 02/26/2008, -0/+0Twitt this: IgNobel nominee detected!

http://cinemafeed.info/search/letter/z.html - harry8227, on 02/26/2008, -3/+1Ok I have a cheaper way of doing this. Stick you index finger in the soil, if it feels dry you thumb will "twiiter you" that the plant needs water. All they are doing is putting a sensor in the soil that sense moisture. Take the plant out of the pot and put the unit in and your pot will Twitter you.
