Yeah, forget about your own discomfort, it’s all about his experience! Can I hear a touch of narcissism in this copy?
I think that cats will reject human attempts to get them twittering. They’re not going to swallow tweets or any form of human intervention that might interrupt much needed naps, snacks or movements necessitating heat and comfort. So suck it up Sony, cos any thoughts that you might have of controlling any cat-related outcomes are going to be met with fierce resistance!
Last week Sony Computer Science Laboratories (CSL) Inc exhibited a blogging device for cats at Open House 2010. Using the data collected by a sensor, it can intuit cat activities such as walking, sleeping and eating. The device accesses Twitter and then automatically posts your cat’s comments relating to whatever activity they’re doing. The data is then transmitted to a PC via Bluetooth and pussy’s comments are posted on Twitter. Currently, there are only 11 phrases to choose from but Sony CSL plans to increase the number of phrases and add a function that can change comments about preceding actions. So when puss is walking to the litter box and then decides to have a snack instead, you’ll be kept posted!
No doubt any cat twittering will be just as tiresome and as boring as any humans! Via
Another reason to miss the alarm in the morning! Obviously if you’re an insomniac this isn’t for you. It’s good to know that the advertising industry has always cared about our health and curing all kinds of maladies!
I can get dressing up poor kittehs in ‘Hello Kitty’ Couture in private … but being a chihuahua subjected to this humiliation in public would be the ultimate in ‘cat revenge’ and render your little pea brain into a confused soup of biological classification!
But then you might have the drawn the lucky lottery of being born to Taiwanese parents who would have your first breaths taken in a ‘Hello Kitty’ themed hospital. Who says that ‘brand association’ is a thing of the past!
