The day I took Twitter very seriously indeed....

...was when I saw this article on plants using it to call for water. Why? Simply because our research shows that the messaging from m2m (machine to machine) applications will dwarf human messaging. The sheer number of devices that are going to come online in the next few year in digital homes, businesses, vehicles etc will drive a step change in internet (and mobile) usage. We also believe the main early instances of the semantic web will primarily be to facilitate m2m comms.

Besides, its probably far more interesting content than many people put on Twitter anyway - and plants don't spam you.

Thanks.

Chris, its not so odd when you talk to the trees anymore, as you can prove they talk to you too

Sensors + UM (ie Twitter) = serious stuff.

Is this the next generation of p2p traffic? (Plant to Plant). I heart someone from Nortel recently predicting that computer to computer traffic will exceed person to computer within the next couple of years. I agree that semantic web, or even simpler forms of meta data, will be the trigger.

It will truly be a step change in the industry. Exciting times ahead.
