Last week we kicked off our first #IoTChat! The topic was also the theme for this year’s Internet of Things World Forum, and the overall theme we’ll be embracing for this quarter: IoT is Here, IoT is Now with the implied: (and what does that mean?)
Here are three simple steps to join tomorrow’s #IoTChat:
- Follow the hashtag #IoTChat
- Introduce yourself when you join
- Respond to a question number starting with its answer number [For example if you’re responding to Q1, start your tweet with A1]
And dive in when you have something to say – we’re all friendly! This week we’ll be discussing the concept of the “Killer App” – what does this mean for IoT?
Below, a few of the highlights from #IoTChat week 1 (I may have gone overboard with ‘highlight’):
Q1: Is the IoT already here? Yay? Nay? #IoTChat
A1. No, lots of things are connected to the Internet but IoT implies getting intelligence and acting on it, not widespread yet #IoTchat

I was at a "smart home" show a decade ago when things were real primitive. I thought, "well, maybe someday…" That day is here! #IotChat

Just because you *can* connect your toaster oven via #IoT, doesn’t mean you necessarily should. #value #IoTChat
