Web App - $99

Listen to your world, talk to the Internet

Want to monitor things and environments remotely without a nerd degree? Maybe you want to get a tweet when your laundry's done, an email when the basement floods, or a text message when you left the garage door open.

Twine is the simplest way to get the objects in your life texting, tweeting or emailing. Focus on your idea instead of installation or technical stuff. A durable 2.5" square provides WiFi, internal and external sensors, and two AAA batteries that last for months. A simple web app lets you give Twine human-friendly rules — no programming needed.

Stick this together with ifttt.com and you can do a whole bunch of things from the incredibly stupid (letting the world know your dryer load is done via twitter) to whatever you can dream up.

Then you need to wear the mandatory geek glasses. alt text

I agree with rhasarub, what's the point of a 99$ device without any mandatory programming? Someone is trying to steal my soul.

@robrambusch: I broke the last pair. Still looking for some good tape to fix it again ;)
