Talking A Washing Machine has A Twitter Account

This video demonstrates how an enterprising hacker created a Twitter account for his washing machine. When a load of laundry is done, the machine's Twitter account is updated to reflect this completed status.

A lot of effort for a little gained is okay in my book if it has that "cool" factor. But here's where it gets scary:

The washing machine has 555 followers.

More than five hundred people are watching the status of one man's washing machine, waiting to find out when his laundry has completed its spin around the agitator.
