<p>Oh, the <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/597507018/pebble-e-paper-watch-for-iphone-and-android">Pebble</a>. We're almost getting tired of writing about it. The little e-paper gadget hit the "most-funded Kickstarter project <a href="http://www.betabeat.com/2012/04/18/at-4-6-million-and-counting-pebble-the-e-paper-watch-is-now-the-most-funded-kickstart-evah/">EVAH</a>" mark about six million dollars ago. Today, it <a href="http://thenextweb.com/gadgets/2012/05/10/pebble-smartwatch-tops-10-million-in-pledges-sells-all-85000-watches/">surpassed</a> $10 million in pledges and sold out of all 85,000 of its offered watches.</p>
<p>Seems like a good time to announce its <a href="http://www.betabeat.com/2012/05/02/pebble-nabs-its-first-software-partner-two-weeks-before-its-kickstarter-campaign-even-ends/">second</a> software partnership, right?</p>
<p>That's exactly what the team did. The Next Web <a href="http://thenextweb.com/insider/2012/05/10/twine-partners-with-pebble-to-send-real-time-alerts-to-your-smartwatch/?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+TheNextWeb+%28The+Next+Web+All+Stories%29">reports</a> that another well-funded Kickstarter project, Twine, <a href="http://supermechanical.tumblr.com/post/22786227275/string-and-stone">announced</a> today that it had partnered with Pebble to offer real-time alerts to the watch.</p>
<p><!--more-->According to a blog post from the Twine team:</p>
<blockquote><p>We’re pleased to announce that Twine will talk to the Pebble smartwatch. In Twine’s web app, you’ll be able to relay word of real-world events, like a basement flooding or a door opening, to the Pebble on your wrist. Welcome to the future!</p></blockquote>
<p>Welcome to the future, indeed. In a short 15-second clip, Twine showcases the power that this partnership could wreak upon the world: a man is shown working on his computer, and when someone knocks at his door, the Pebble smartwatch alerts him. (Because doorbells are <em>so</em> pre-21st century.)</p>
<p>This is Pebble's second partnership, and the project still has eight days left to go. Who wants to bet that they'll be acquired before the campaign even ends?</p>
