Yes. You read it right. The plant blogs.
Bowls cafe in Japan is home to Midori-san, the blogging plant. The interface and software was created by Kayac co, Ltd., and Midori san, a Sweetheart Hoya, has started blogging since about a week ago. She blogs about weather, random stuff, thanks people who give her chances to photosynthesize, and even random fortune.
Here’s the design diagram.
So. How does this really work? This system uses sensors to get faint electric signals, from the surroundings. It changes with temperature, vibration, humidity, movement, magnetism, etc. So basically, Midori-san would “know” if something happens to be near her. These are then loosely translated to data about Midori-san’s surroundings, and then posted up on the blog. Here’s Midori’s post for today, translated by yours truly.

There’s more! Their site has a widget you can use to give Midori san some lighty-love by clicking on it, and typing a nickname. When you’ve done that, it shows a live webcam view of Midori in real time! cool no?
Man. Midori-san sure got the good life~ I’m sure plants all around the world are green with envy.
First a Mind reading game, then now a blogging plant. what will they come up with next?
I’m just shaking with excitement!

Very interesting! Though, when I visit the site, I can’t read anything because its not english.
I stumbled upon here through the “you read mine, ill read yours” forum topic you posted. Great idea!
