Dogs Using Twitter?

The Mattel toy company is gearing up to release a new product that will attempt to cash in on the social media craze, the new product is called Puppy Tweets.

Here’s how Puppy Tweets will work – a tag attaches to your dog’s collar and randomly generates one of several hundred pre-written puppy tweets when it detects barking or movement from your dog.  The tweet is then automatically sent to a USB device in your computer and is then posted as an update to your dog’s Twitter page.

Because the Puppy Tweets are pre-written, the status updates that are sent out by your dog will most likely not accurately reflect what your dog is currently doing, but nevertheless it may be entertaining.  According to Mattel, Puppy Tweets is set to hit toy stores and other retailers in the fall of this year and will sell for $29.99.  Oh, and don’t forget to follow us on Twitter!
