Networked Christmas Tree Controlled By Twitter

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the ho-ho-ho dept.

An anonymous reader writes "What's Twitter good for? How about crowd sourcing control of your Christmas tree. Dangerous Prototypes built an open source, networked Christmas tree that you can control from Twitter. Send a color or hexadecimal color code to @tweet_tree, then watch the color change on the live video stream. This project is based on an updated version of the open source business card size web server covered previously."

    Is it just me or is Twitter the most annoying thing to take off in years?

      greetings and salutations...
      My only real problems with twitter are these:
      a) I am not sure I can say anything of substance in 140 characters...
      b) Twitter promotes the idea that anyone else cares about what you are doing every 30 seconds of the day....Trust me...WE DO NOT CARE.
                  Merry Christmas
