One of the aspects when developing the design of the Webalert device was to depart from the classic design features of "technical products".

• A pebble you can pocket
• A pebble you’d like to pick up
• A pebble that is connected to nature

The design is the work of the Geppetto Design Studio.

Webalert is designed to inform the user about events accessible via the Internet even when the user’s computer is turned off.

Such events may include changes in stock exchange rates, the number of visitors to the blog, weather information, the number of emails, etc., or any other more complex or application based event may be monitored and the value of the change displayed.

There are several display options, including blinking LEDs, displaying digits or longer texts and even engine powered mechanical motion.

Webalert is a tiny and extremely energy-efficient device.
