Meet Eater, the social networking plant that needs your friendship to grow

Meet Eater is a plant that craves social interaction. It has its own Facebook page and feeds off the love and attention its online friends provide.

“The Meet Eater wants to be touched, has a desire for social media interaction and the occasional need for quiet time. This plant is watered upon the receipt of physical interaction, when it makes friends on Facebook and when people write on its wall,” explains Bashkim Isai, a student at Australia’s University of Queensland and creator of the Meet Eater project.
