Spot and King and Whiskers are now on Twitter!
Well, not yet, but come fall 2019, they could be, according to this post on Mashable.com that says that:
“Mattel is about to launch a toy that will brighten the lives of some dog lovers … It’s called Puppy Tweet, and it gives your dog the ability to send Twitter updates about what he or she is doing….The collar detects when your dog moves or make a sound, then randomly selects one of 500 pre-written tweets to post to Twitter (Twitter). Your dog has to be within a reasonable distance of the room with your computer in it, though; the tweets are sent wirelessly from the collar to a USB receiver that has to be plugged into a supported Internet-connected device…Since the selection is random, the tweets don’t really represent what your dog is doing. It’s more a placebo that reminds you that your beloved pet is out there doing something, whatever it is. They’re cute though. A couple examples: “I finally caught that tail I’ve been chasing, and . . . OOUUUCHH!” and “I bark because I miss you. There, I said it. Now hurry home.”
It will sell for $29.99 on places like Amazon. No word out on whether there will be something for the goldfish, but if this takes off, I wouldn’t be surprised.
