(((Got some mildly interesting home-made blogject action here. But really – are cellphones so cheap we can give 'em to houseplants? Not real plausible.)))
(((Kind of a Regine Debatty "device art"
intervention here. If you could call that pepper plant and get it to *excrete human blood* into its peppers...
but now we're wandering into Dunne and Raby territory.)))

"Botanicalls Twitter answers the question: What's up with your plant? It offers a connection to your leafy pal via online Twitter status updates that reach you anywhere in the world. When your plant needs water, it will post to let you know, and send its thanks when you show it love.
"Twitter is social software that asks a simple question: What are you doing?
"Botanicalls is a system that was developed to allow plants to place phone calls for human help. When a plant on the Botanicalls network needs water, it can call a person and ask for exactly what it needs. When people phone the plants, the plants orient callers to their habits and characteristics. Call 212.202.8348 to hear more about each of the plants."
(((Thanks to Gabriel Licina for writing in with that one.)))
