The Internet of Things
“The Internet of Things
is Made of Signals”
– Me, at Thingmonk, 

December 2013

The Internet is
made of people
https://www.flickr.com/photos/jaredzimmerman/4347009851
… and: objects, services, sensors
the Internet of Things
Twitter is a real-time information network

carrying conversations and signals
Twitter is the 

pulse of the planet
Twitter and the IoT
Many objects Tweet
from plants… to ferries…
to houses…
to sensors…
Smart environments
Objects bring Tweets to 

the physical world

Twitter is a great I/O channel 

for the IoT
People are talking about the
Golden Gate bridge.



Most used words: 

blocked, closed, police, detour. 

Should I re-route your path?
