Twoddler lets your toddler twitter

[Vidboy10]

So you think your baby's all Twitter-ready with that Kickbee while chilling in the womb? Nah, only practice makes perfect, so the folks at Belgium's Hasselt University came up with the Twoddler: a hacked Fisher-Price activity board with buttons linked to predefined Twitter messages. Obsessive parents can put photos of themselves on the buttons, so that whenever those buttons are hit the Twoddler tweets something like "@mommy I miss you." We like this idea, but then again you'll never know if it's just someone else's kids bashing the buttons -- you'll still feel good anyway. Watch some Twoddler action after the break.

It's real but unnecessary and it teaches bad lessons to kids.

This serious?

It wouldn't be news if it wasn't.

Don't forget about the thread about MASS

"Blue. Blue. Red. Two. Spiral spinning thing."

That would probably be the most relevant, interesting twitter page.

they should also release facebook related twoddlers... facelers
its showing a very bad progression stream for kids to relate to often useless material on the internet rather than something intelligent and useful
