Make Readings Public?

It would be nice if we could make readings public so we could show it off to other people...
I took a survey from EasyBloom and that was the first thing I requested. Sharing the plant info is nice, but really, the magic of the device is the data grabbing :) Until then, I have to grab screenshots and post those to Twitter, etc.

I am just curious as to why you would want to see others readings? The readings are based off of the individuals gardening practices and location. SSing your readings and posting on these forums or networking site (Twitter) may be the best way to go.
Actually it would be really great to find out what flowers people are growing in your area. Growing is an art but information about what plants can be grown in your will be a great help others in the same area. I would go as far as saying if "easybloom" could use all the information that is uploaded to create a US Map with this data. Might be able to use google earth to do this.
I would like a feature where you can see what others are growing locally too.
this would realy help carnivorous plant growers. but it would only be helpfull if thay are in the same zone.
I think it would be reasonable to just see based on zip code, city, county, whatever. What plants people were growing. not even specific people just a general "common plants in your area" etc. I will say even though I was warned Venus fly traps don't fair well in Florida, I've managed to keep them alive and now my leaf miner problems have dropped exponentially since. (The venus fly traps always appear closed and are thriving so I'm going to assume the two are related)
