As much as interacting solely on social networks is fun and at times truly rewarding, many company's are starting to see the benefit of bridging the gap between these applications and the real world; enter GreenGoose. GreenGoose allows people to participate online by doing something desirable and even necessary in their real life.
By providing cute sensor stickers that happen to look like actual app buttons, GreenGoose allows us to easily track activities such as caring for our pets, gardening or performing hobbies. GreenGoose's kit comes with these stickers as well as an egg-shaped base station that keeps track their use, awarding points in an online game each time a desirable activity is performed.
The GreenGoose sensors have a 250-foot range, includes a tiny battery that lasts a full year and is recyclable.
