API FOR THE WORLD

With a small bit of software and a tiny physical device any object with a power cord can become a networked object and connected to the web.  It’s part of an effort to fill the gap between “smart” and low-tech devices.  For eample a desk lamp could order itself new lightbulbs, or a Refrigerator could alert you to pick up milk in your car on your way home.  The team behind this is calling it a “social network for everyday objects” because you can use an online dashboard to create unique profiles for different objects in your house and connect them to a variety of web services.  Another term used to describe this kind of thing is the “internet of things”.
