Sneakers tweet about your walking (so you don’t have to)
Posted by admin in Gadget News, Gadget Reviews, iPhone Talk, Tech Talk on January 28, 2010
New "Rambler" shoes connect to your cell phone via Bluetooth, and send out tweets to your Twitter feed about what's going on with your feet. The data takes the form of the words "step" and "tap," and a period when nothing is happening. So when you're sitting at your computer tapping your feet, tweets look like this: "…..tap tap tap…. tap." When you're walking, they look like this: "step step step step." This is why Al Gore invented Twitter. (Props to Nerd With Swag)

A new, $30 device called Puppy Tweets will monitor your dog's activities, and automatically send out messages on Twitter based on what Fido is doing. Unfortunately, the unit can only detect crude motion data, such as not moving at all, or running around. It then sends lame canned messages, such as "I finally caught that tail I've been chasing and…OOUUUCHH!" Yeah, that'll get old fast.
