Blankomat: The Coffee Machine That Tweets

So let's see, we've had a washing maching that tweets, a chair that tweets whenever someone farts, and now we have Blankomat, a coffee machine that tweets.

The premise: a webcam attached to the coffee machine can detect when the text on the machine's display screen changes and that sends that image to a computer.  The image is then matched with other images in the internal database. If it finds a match, the machine sends a tweet to the Blankomat Twitter account.

Check out the video below from TechCrunch to see how it works...
