So you think your baby's all Twitter-ready with that Kickbee while chilling in the womb? Nah, only practice makes perfect, so the folks at Belgium's Hasselt University came up with the Twoddler: a hacked Fisher-Price activity board with buttons linked to predefined Twitter messages. Obsessive parents can put photos of themselves on the buttons, so that whenever those buttons are hit the Twoddler tweets something like "@mommy I miss you." We like this idea, but then again you'll never know if it's just someone else's kids bashing the buttons -- you'll still feel good anyway. Watch some Twoddler action after the break.

At least babies don't lack the intelligence of the average twitterer.

This is insane! Twitter will have to double there servers if this takes off. Anyone who has kids can tell you that they will just hit those buttons over and over and over and over and over again. Can you imagine how many tweets that would be if thousands of kids did this!! LOL

Is it strange that I've never even visited twitter, and only recently found out what it is

I make it a point to ignore anything twitter related. This is no exception.

I do however find it mildly entertaining.

Really glad to see that most everyone else also finds this inessential.

In this case, "strange" is a good thing (IMO).
