Great, Now Even Our Plants Are Twittering

That's right folks, thanks to ThinkGeek's $100 DIY Plant Twitter Kit, now even your houseplants can Twitter their little photosynthesizing hearts out.

Once the kit is assembled, connect it to the Internet through the built-in ethernet jack, jam the leads into the plant's soil, and subscribe to the plant's twitter feed. It will tell you when it needs watering, or scold you if you've overwatered it, and report its status in between.

Finally, Twittering plants! Technology is amazing, isn't it? And in other Twitter news, Geekologie tipster Vanessa just informed me Britney Spears has signed up. So, yeah.

GeekologieWriter: @ the world. Well played. Goodbye you cruel bastard.

Thanks to Sarah and Vanessa, whose Twitter feeds I read religiously.
