Background
In January 2012 mortierbrigade launched the mortierbrigade hotel. A home away from home for international creative interns.
Idea
Since these youngsters are all digital natives, just giving them an ordinary key would be very disappointing. So they created the first tweet driven gate opener in the universe to make their geeks feel at home.
The hotel guests have to send a tweet to @portierbrigade #open
Results
Now it has been proven that it can open a heavy gate, they are investigating other possibilities too, like: The first tweet-driven nutcracker. And the first tweet-driven stamp-on-envelope-putter! ;)
