BUG + Twitter = a big idea

This is why I think that BUG is going to be such a big hit.  There are so many services out there that can be matched to hardware for incredible experiences.  It will only get cooler from here I can not wait for my BUG package to arrive, shoudl be here soon. 

bijan:

A few days ago Peter Semmelhack, the founder/ceo of Bug Labs, sent me an email about a new app they built for the BUG. It was a webcam app so you can turn the BUG into a webcam.

I thought it was pretty cool and I twittered about it.

That was only the tip of this iceberg.

Peter called me the next day and told me about a better version of that app. The idea was to tie the motion sensor module with the webcam app and then link that to Twitter. Amazing.

But that was two days ago.

And then yesterday he called me about taking it a big step further. He calls it Crowdsourcing Security System. And it’s a big idea. Go read about it here.

If you use Twitter, you may very well love this app.

I can’t wait to set mine up!
