Twitter is Good for Something

OK, so in delving further into the mysteries and absurdities of Twitter, I came across this, which actually is really cool. I only use Twitter to keep up with my brother (we don't phone or email very regularly and when my mom asks if I've heard from him recently, I interpret "heard from" loosely and cite his frequent and cryptic tweets as evidence that he is still out there doing stuff) and to decide where and when I will be getting together with my teenage friends to make drugs.

I like this especially because it doesn't really even involve actualy Twittering, just turning a knob and pressing a button. Fresh pizza would be a good one, too (slices are so much better when they don't have to be reheated). And if they could twitter when the G Train is coming, that would save a lot of people a lot of pain. From adafruit industries via Make:

BakerTweet is a way for busy bakers to tell the world that something hot and fresh has just come out of the oven. It’s as simple as turning the dial and hitting the button. All of the baker’s followers get a Twitter alert to tell them that it’s bun-time. Or bread time. Or whatever.
