Doggy tweets stupidity knows no boundaries

This article was posted by Warren Whitlock on Google Buzz I had to repost it as this device has to be the most stupid thing I have ever heard of. I am a super dog lover (as you probably know) I am also a geek and love twitter facebook and all things web 2.0, But I have never heard of a more ridiculous device than this.

“Mattel Toys is tapping into the social media craze, by preparing to release Puppy Tweets , a high-tech toy that will allow dogs to publicize their everyday activities on Twitter via a sound and motion sensor. As described on Mashable,

The collar detects when your dog moves or make a sound, then randomly selects one of 500 pre-written tweets to post to Twitter. Your dog has to be within a reasonable distance of the room with your computer in it, though; the tweets are sent wirelessly from the collar to a USB receiver that has to be plugged into a supported Internet-connected device.”
