<p>I was very proud to read that there are two italian innovations among the <a target="_blank" href="http://tinyurl.com/buywidenoise">Top 10 Internet of Things Products of 2009</a>: <b>WideNoise</b> and <b>Arduino</b>.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.widetag.com/widenoise/" target="_blank">WideNoise</a> is an iPhone application that samples decibel noise levels, displaying them on an interactive map. With the app you can take a sound reading, and if you so wish share that with the WideNoise community. You can check the average sound level of the area around you, which might be handy if you're house-hunting or simply looking for a quiet spot to relax in.</p> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.arduino.cc/">Arduino</a> is <a href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/5_companies_building_the_internet_of_things.php">an open-source electronics prototyping platform</a> made up of open source hardware and software. It's intended for artists, designers, hobbyists and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments. For an example of the type of internet-connected object you can build with Arduino, check out <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/amcewen/getting-started-with-arduino-how-to-build-a-twitter-monitoring-alertuino-presentation">this presentation</a> where the author configured a child's toy ray gun to react when anyone posted the #barcampliverpool hash tag on Twitter.</div> <div style="width: 425px; text-align: justify;"><br /> <br /> <div style="font-size: 11px; font-family: tahoma,arial; height: 26px; padding-top: 2px;"></div> </div> <p style="text-align: center;"><object height="330" width="330" data="http://static.slidesharecdn.com/swf/ssplayer2.swf?doc=getting-started-with-arduino-how-to-build-a-twittermonitoring-alertuino-1228754906547889-9&stripped_title=getting-started-with-arduino-how-to-build-a-twitter-monitoring-alertuino-presentation" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /> <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /> <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /> <param name="src" value="http://static.slidesharecdn.com/swf/ssplayer2.swf?doc=getting-started-with-arduino-how-to-build-a-twittermonitoring-alertuino-1228754906547889-9&stripped_title=getting-started-with-arduino-how-to-build-a-twitter-monitoring-alertuino-presentation" /> <param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /></object></p> </div>
