The Internet of Things – Exosite in Minneapolis

The Internet of Things – Exosite in Minneapolis

Are you familiar with the phrase “The Internet of Things”? I was first introduced to it by my friend Mike Aanenson who is the General Manager of Exosite, a software company in Minneapolis. Mike is one of the smarter people I know and his focus is in getting “things” to communicate with one another. (Mike would probably prefer “machine to machine communication” but you get the idea)

His company was recently featured in a Twin Cities Business Journal article:

It’s a quick read and highlights a few more startups that fit the category.

If you have the time, this video does a good job of introducing the big picture. (the tweeting cow is what I want to see)

Mike tells me that the costs of bringing more devices online drops, we’ll see more benefits.

I’m just impressed he can get that trash can talking.

Good stuff.
