Puppy Tweets takes tweeting to a new level

Matter has created a toy for all out canine friends for the first time and it’s called “Puppy Tweets” that meshes the hugely popular Twitter with consumers’ love of pets. This is an innovative plastic tag with a sound and motion sensor that you attach to your pet’s dog collar and connect its USB receiver to your computer. After this you can proceed to create a Twitter account for your dog and enjoy updates all day on your phone. I can’t imagine why anyone would want to subject themselves to this, but there are strange people in this world and I can see my sister squeal over the toy. The tag is set with several pre-recorded tweets that are triggered by the dog’s activities. For example, if he is running around, you might get a tweet that says “I finally caught that tail I’ve been chasing and…OOUUUCHH!”. When he is asleep, you will see something like “Somedays it feels like my paw is permanently on the snooze button!”. You get the idea. It’s quite humorous, but I think I’d have to say pass. It’s bad enough that the entire world is tweeting, let’s leave the dogs out of this.
