apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

The DIY Plant Twitter Kit comes unassembled, so you’ll have to break out the soldering iron and get to work.

Once your gizmo is assembled, connect it to the Internet through the built-in ethernet jack, jam the leads into the plant’s soil, and subscribe to your plant’s twitter feed (Did that last part sound as weird to us as it did to everybody else?). It will tell you when it needs watering, or scold you if you’ve overwatered it, and report its status in between.

What do you think? Are typing plants more or less creepy than the Plantbot (You have go go see the animation in our old post before you can truly have an opinion)? More or less effective than the pot that tells you when your plant's upset?
