Twitter is hot these days. Many geeks wanna have an account and start getting themselves on Twitter. Perhaps it maybe a good idea to start building a Twitter path for your kids when they’re still in the womb, so they have plenty of time to be the next Twitter super star.
Here comes the Kickbee, which is a pregnancy wear for the pregnant women. It comes with a strapped-on set of piezo sensors to monitor the activities of the baby in the womb, send the updates wirelessly to Twitter, so that the expectant parents are able to show off to the world that how the little unborn child is doing.
The Kickbee comes with an Arduino which is able to interpret the input and transmit it over Bluetooth to a nearby computer which will then send the updates to Twitter. The sensors are deemed pretty sensitive to record all activities in the womb. But the kind of electronics attached might be considered harmful for some paranoid parents as we believe it does give off little EM waves. But if you want your child to be famous on Twitter since he or she is unborn, then the Kickbee shall be the choice.
