Social Networking for your Toaster

An enterprising young gentleman from Pittsburgh named Hans Scharler has connected his toaster to Twitter. Now you can get realtime updates of its toasting endeavors on its Twitter page. Hans connected his toaster to an ioBridge module, which allows it to send realitime email updates to its Twitter account whenever toasting starts or stops. He blogs about the project on his site, and has posted a slideshow on Instructables.
