Personally, I can’t imagine that anybody would be interested enough in the minutiae of my day-to-day existence to justify a Twitter account. But if I did use one, I’d somehow mandate that it could only be accessed via teddy bear. All you really need is a sacrificial animatronic teddy bear, some basic electronic know-how, and the desire to create a soulless daemon. Using a Bluetooth connection and text to speech software, the bear will automatically recite whatever Twitter feeds you ask it to in a vaguely creepy sort of way. The hack is fairly simple, although you will have to sort of know your way around a circuit board.
Somebody should totally figure out how to get a Pleo to do this…

Man, I thought it was cool when I used to put Metallica tapes in my Teddy Ruckspin, but this is just crazy.
Crazy like a fox? Or like a bear? 🙂
I’m part of the team working on Twittering Teddy and I just wanted to stop by and say thankyou for featuring our video. The charity auction for Teddy is now live on eBay, so if you DON’T know your way around a circuit board, there’s a chance to win the working original 🙂
