Wi-Fi scale tweets your weight loss (or gain)

How stupid. Instead of having it go to some personal health record for individuals to track their own progress, it goes to a social media utility? Talk about doing things just for the sake of doing things.

Is this a piece of technology aimed by marketers to people who are to lazy to key in the information themselves?

I saw this article and I just had to comment. Justin, the scale does post to your own private site. I check my progress weekly and have 1 months worth of charts to prove it. It's a great tool for me since I'm trying to loose 100 lbs... (50 down, 50 more to go!). Don't think I'll be enabling the Twitter thing though... that's def not for me.

The message here is that only the numbers matter. FIrst, it's was how many are following you on Twitter (how can we possibly compete with Ashton!?). Now, your pounds coming on or off are public commodities to be traded in 140 characters.

So the ultimate question is: will we be restricted to only 140 lbs???

Considerate gift Fail.

This is not for lazy people or those wanting to drop followers, but is for people who care about their health and love stats. I like this technology. Who cares about the Twitter function it comes with, the rest of it .... is sweet.

Will it tweet your weight to your Healthcare Provider so he can DROP YOU? Listen most people don't need a scale to know they are overweight. Another dumb Technology Product.
