Well, here's a bit of a twist on the ever popular DIY Twitter gadget (http://www.engadget.com/tag/twitter,diy). Rather than controlling a device (http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/07/twitter-powered-robotic-popcorn-machine-media-snacker-deluxe/) via Twitter, or having a device simply display or read tweets aloud (http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/21/video-ganzbot-reads-twitter-feeds-aloud-looks-fashionably-low/), the folks behind this LED-stuffed table have taken a slightly more artistic approach by relying on the tweeting masses to generate patterns of light on the table. That's done with a combination of a hashtag and a specific format for entering colors and coordinates, which head first for a MacBook Pro before being transmitted to the table via Bluetooth. Not content to leave it there, the table's creators have even set up a live USTREAM feed to let you see the results of your tweet. Hit up the link below to try it out for yourself.
