Puppy Tweets Lets You Know What's Going on With Your Dog

You know how some people set up Facebook profiles for their pets? Well, Puppy Tweets aims to get dogs on Twitter. Mattel developed a plastic USB tak that syncs with your computer that can be placed on a pet’s collar, attached to a pet profile on Twitter and posts its daily activities as tweets.

Puppy Tweets brings the idea of pets as humans to a whole new level. Your pet's tweets will be pre-programmed and will be generated by sounds and motions made by the animal during the day. Of course all this connectivity isn’t free. Puppy Tweets will retail for $29.99 and be available in Fall 2010.
