Unique SM Product Alert: FollowPlants



FollowPlants was introduced this week at Disrupt NY Hackathon and actually sounds pretty neat. Here is a quick description of what it is:

To use FollowPlants, a grower could install sensors near their plants, then data from those sensors would be automatically translated into tweets like “It’s a sunny day!” or “I need water!”

What is unique about this product is that it incorporates social media, online shopping, has a very distinct target market, and more. Can’t believe it was created by two 15 year old kids! So awesome.

Thought I would share since it just seems like a new idea, one I definitely have never heard of before, but would be interested to see if it takes off one day. I know several people who love to garden and who I think would really enjoy this product.
