Here’s a watch that will remind you when it’s time to get social. As if you need reminding. They already take up a lot of our time. It will tempt you even when you are away from the sites. Then again with so many sites and so little time, this watch might help you manage just using one site per hour.

It features all of the major networks, including Twitter, Facebook, MySpace and so on. Each of the 12 digits are replaced with the logos of your favorite networking sites. Best of all it’s only $18.

Sure, lights on your notebook are nothing new, but they don’t really do anything useful. This mod, on the other hand, puts a 3-color LED on an Asus Eee 901 that shows you when you have incoming messages. All it takes is an extra microprocessor and some custom scripts.

The RGB LED displays a different color depending on whether it’s email, an IM or a tweet. We can only hope that this opens up the eyes of product designers. It would be nice to see something like this on an HP, Acer or Dell.

If you’ve done the whole tweeting every time your unborn child kicks, perhaps it’s time for something a bit creepier. This device will give your Twitter followers a live feed of your heartbeat, including “pre-recorded” messages to announce your death should you shuffle off this mortal coil.

This DIY project is open source and will send the news of your heart directly to the internet. That way should you stop supporting the Iranian revolution, we will all know why. It was probably one too many cheetos and the terrible let-down of a Transformers movie that was too much for your soul to take.

Right up there with printers, digital picture frames are fairly boring. So companies keep throwing more features at us so that we may decide to buy one. That’s why Kogan’s 8-inch WiFi LCD digiframe features a bunch of tricks we’ve seen before, along with a few that are new.

It will accept photos via email, RSS feeds, Flickr, and Facebook. Email pics to a central address and see them displayed on a group of these things. With the free SeeFrame app for iPhone you can even send images directly from your handset. You can view your Twitter feed as well.

Google wave should be making waves in no time. Think of it like a live chatroom with a spread of documents, photos and/or videos, where you can reply to any part of any message or anything that’s shared, and it all operates in real-time. Basically TMI.

It’s a combination of Twitter, IM, Friendfeed and other service with semi-real-time stuff. In Google Wave, you can share and collaborate on projects, and all of this is going on at once. Probably great for those with ADD. You start a wave with any message or photo or whatever, and you bring people into the stream, and then they can bring people in.

You want to get on twitter and pass the time away while at work, but as usual, “the man” has a problem with that. Here’s how you stick it to “the man”. SpreadTweet is a twitter client that looks like a spreadsheet to casual passers-by.

If you look closer, you will find the usual Twitter stuff, but your boss won’t know anything is up, unless they read the ‘Brick. Just type your reply in the top text editbox to tweet back. Don’t let something like work stop you from tweeting.

Do your fingers get tired from excessive tweets? Well, there’s help on the way. Just use brain power to send messages via Twitter without lifting a finger. You can thank Adam Wilson, who has come up with a brain interface that allows you to post Twitter messages with no hands. Though you will have to wear the dorky electrode cap.

The display shows individual letters and when the user focuses on a letter, it will type it. It’s slower than using a keyboard, but soon it should get faster. Who wants to use their fingers anyway? That’s so last century.

They used to say that when you get arrested, don’t go singing like a bird and giving up all of your buddies. Well, times have sure changed. Now it’s the man who sings like a bird and rats you out to everyone. If you get arrested in Denton, Texas, your mugshot will be blasted all over Twitter with your age and crime.

But this isn’t some innovation from the Texas penal system to humiliate lawbreakers, just a clever art student’s comment on how much information is floating around out there. Sometimes the power of Twitter can be downright scary.

Randy Sarafan must be the kind of guy who gets people to pull his finger. You see, Randy has gas. Apparently so much that he modified his office chair with a sensor and hooked it up to his computer. The end result is this: Every time Randy farts, the chair sends out a tweet on Twitter.

So I can only surmise that following Randy on twitter is kinda like being there, but with no foul smells. Judging by the number of tweets he produces, I think he should seek medical help. We aren’t sure how to tell just by reading his tweets whether they are real earth-movers or just SBD’s.(Silent But Deadly)

You already share all of your life’s details on Twitter, why not share your power usage? Tweet-a-Watt will broadcast your power consumption for all to see. Each device only reads one outlet, so you can really get the low-down on how you use energy.

Modified from a Kill-a-Watt energy reader, the Tweet-a-Watt slowly charges up just enough power to communicate with a nearby computer via an XBee receiver, then uses a predefined Twitter account to automatically publish the results.

A new Twitter tool gives followers a list of people who have recently split up with their partners. Yeah, kinda scary. Like those dudes who go to funerals trying to pick up hot widows. Okay, maybe not that bad, but still.

Box UK has created reboundfinder to search for specific tweets from people who post that they have either dumped their significant others, or been dumped by them, and then to RT, or retweet, their posts via its feed. Creator Dan Zambonini says that he was just showing how a simple filter can be used to startling effect in Twitter’s open format.

The Early Bird alarm clock from Fred & Friends will wake you up gently with the sounds of birdsong. The little bird icon even glows, like some sweet avian angel of addiction, subtly reminding you that Twitter awaits on the intertubez.

This bird themed alarm is easy to set and comes with automatic snooze. Which I suppose beats a shotgun sound effect to quiet those birds.

This latest Arduino project turns it into a twitter home security system of sorts. The Arduino is used to monitor a home burglar alarm and send out status messages should the status change: Like when the alarm was activated or shut off, error messages, or just when the alarm actually sounds because you are being robbed.

The Arduino’s digital IO pins are wired up to the alarm’s output signals. An XBee wireless module was added, because the alarm control panel is some distance away from the ethernet hook-up, and a simple Linux server (with the USB XBee receiver) monitors any changes and sends the Twitter messages. @alarmdude By the time help gets here I’m gone. Left the zune on your desk.

Unborn children can now communicate with the outside world. Corey Menscher wanted to experience the kicks, movements and other utero activities of his unborn child, so he developed the Kickbee, a strapped-on set of piezo sensors that monitor the baby and send wireless updates about it to Twitter.

Just wrap a stretchy band around your wife, velcro it in place, and the sensors will react to movement. It also sports an Arduino to make sense of the inputs and wirelessly transmit them, via Bluetooth, to a nearby MacBook Pro; it’s the Pro that actually sends out the Twitter updates, not a magic baby.

This device let’s your plant talk and share it’s feelings with the whole world over the Internet, and gets what the plant says posted on Twitter. It’s an electronic kit from Adafruit called Botanicalls Twitter Kit, which attaches to your plants, and conveys all the plants’ thoughts and messages to you via the Internet.

Those messages will be posted on Twitter, so you’ll know when they need water or have a lack of soil and minerals. I’m assuming they will feel free to curse you too, you non-watering bastard. So, now that plants can let us know, you can immediately care for them. Once the plant thoughts are posted on Twitter, you’ll get notificed in text messages on your mobile phone by Twitter.
