Twitter-equipped bathroom scale tells the world how much you weigh - Los Angeles Times
"The most embarrassing new tech product of the year just got more embarrassing. Last month, we let you know about the Wi-Fi Body Scale, the first bathroom scale equipped with a wireless connection to send your weight and body fat information directly to your Web page and iPhone. But weight, there's more. Today the French company behind the scale, Withings, announced it has added Twitter capability to the scale, enabling the user to automatically tweet the weight/fat info to followers."

The question is, why would anyone want to follow the tweets of a properly maintained girlfriend?
8am: Had candoodlings with boyfriend.
10am: Had candoodlings with boyfriend.
12pm: Had candoodlings with boyfriend.
2pm: Had candoodlings with boyfriend.
4pm: Had candoodlings with boyfriend.
6pm: Had candoodlings with boyfriend.
8pm: Had candoodlings with boyfriend.
10pm: Had candoodlings with boyfriend.
12am: Had canoodlings with boyfriend.
How boring is that to read?

Better question: Would anyone have the nerve to buy it and think that anyone cares?

If you're talking about a Twitter account, they're free.

i see a point in this product. Many people are hooked on weightloss, there are plenty of forums that are a place where they come together and daily share their weight and foodstories. This product can be successful !

Just don't.
An electric can opener would be a better gift than that. To date I haven't met a woman who likes talking about her weight, much less tweet it out to the world.

I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it.

Yes, and those people will buy it for themselves.
Anyone else receiving this as a gift, not good.

Then they can give it to each other. I'm sure lots of people think it's a funny product that serves a purpose. here is an example of a Dutch weightloss site : Vegetarische kersttips
as you can see the people are not so shy about their weight and eating behavior, their user profiles are on the left

I agree! I can tweet about eating my sausage, egg and cheese bagel for breakfast, and then tweet about my weight right after! Synergy, people.

You'll certainly gain some attention for doing so.
