I am not a big fan of Twitter. I don’t follow anyone and don’t have an account. Perhaps if I was from a younger generation, I would. After all, I am sure my buddies and I would have one or two jokes being shared, while moving from pub to pub (although, they would all need to be expunged prior to employment).

And of course, as with all technology, companies seek out new uses. Sony has just announced a lifelogging application that uploads to Twitter.

The lifelogging device, which was prototyped in collaboration with the University of Tokyo, is equipped with a camera, an acceleration sensor, a GPS, etc to record the activities of a cat.

Using the data collected by the acceleration sensor, etc, the device deduces the activities of a cat such as walking, sleeping and eating.

The device can be used with the Twitter service and automatically posts comments in accordance with the activities. The lifelog data is first transmitted to a PC via Bluetooth, and, then, comments are posted on Twitter. For example, it is possible to automatically post a comment like "This tastes good" when a cat is eating something.

Now, I love animals. I live in a family of animal activists. At one time we had a dog and four cats at the same time. And it runs in family. My son is on a school trip and he called last night and said they were at the Humane Society and he donated all of the money he had left because it is for the animals.

But knowing everything my cat does? Pass.
