The Twittering Teddy Bear

by Scott Beale on June 22, 2008 · 2 comments

Alison and Lloyd, the hosts of My Home 2.0, have created a Twittering Teddy Bear by performing surgery on an animatronic toy bear, adding a text-to-speech implant allowing the bear to speak real-time Twitter updates. Here’s the bear’s Twitter account.

Here’s live stream of the Twittering Teddy announcing Twitter updates. The bear is currently up for auction on eBay and the proceeds will be donated to Homeless Children’s Education Fund.

Spam: Spam comments in any form will not be approved. We also do not approve comments that left for the sole purpose of posting a link.

Corrections: If you want to point out a typo or correction, please email us instead. Typo or correction comments will not be approved since they are pretty much useless once they are corrected and then only tend to confuse things.
