Stanley, a piano, is ready to take your song requests over Twitter

Nice example how to link the offline and the online world via social media.

ABC News :: Plenty of inanimate objects have Twitter accounts -- companies, hotels and restaurants, just to name a few. But behind all those accounts, there's an actual human who sits behind the computer, reading the responses, and responding if they choose. Stanley is a little bit different. Stanley is the name of an interactive piano with a Twitter account -- @Stanleypiano -- and when you tweet at Stanley with the name of a song, it can actually play it back.

Note: Streaming live this weekend.
