Ever heard of Veeple, People?

I hadn't... until now. It's a new(er) technology that allows you to create hot spots within live video. So, whether it's on your website or in a presentation, you can actually click on areas of the video to activate any type of link. The link could be a website, pdf, pop-up graphic, and even another video. You create them yourself.

You can click here to check out the demonstration, which is a little clunky, but does a decent job of showing you how it works. It also helped jumpstart my thinking about creative, innovative ways to develop more interactivity with video on our website or in presentations. The possibilities of its applications are exciting to think about, so I thought it was worth sharing.

Who thought CES could help the gardener in you?

There's finally a proactive product out there to help someone (like me) who doesn't have a "green thumb." The EasyBloom Plant Sensor uses the technology that recently discovered water on Mars ... but helps your garden via your computer. Sounds cool.

To get diagnostics and recommendations from EasyBloom, simply stick the prongs from the EasyBloom device into the ground or the soil of your plant overnight and then plug in the built-in USB, which will send the data online to EasyBloom. EasyBloom will tell you why your plants are not doing well and help your plants thrive with corrective actions. Sounds too easy. Thanks, TrendHunter- you spotted this one early!
