Now they have thought of it all. Mattel just came out with a new product called Puppy Tweets that creates tweets for man's best friend. The way it works is a small medallion is attached to the collar of your puppy. Motion and sound set off the medallion which sends messages to a USB stick which ultimately updates the dog's twitter account.
Blogger Tim Stevens reports on the product after testing it on his Labrador puppy.
His dog, Yoshi, was relatively active and was able to get some funny tweets out of the machine like, "Yoshi: Opening your eyes is overrated." The device is supposed to have 500 available tweets. But won't this all get boring after those 500 tweets, when the machine can't generate any new ones?
Ultimately, I think that this device is a pretty dumb idea. And Stevens confirmed my analysis when he said that the toy lasted about 2 days before Yoshi chewed it to shreds.
Dogs, leave the tweeting up to the humans.
