How to keep the weight off using Twitter

I read an amusing piece earlier this week in Engadget, which announced:

You know that friend — we all have one — that bores you with incessant tweets regarding his weight, his caloric intake, number of miles jogged, so on and so forth? Well, don’t let him get a hold on this: finally available in the US, the WiFi Body Scale by Withings has received a bit of an upgrade, with its web app now offering Twitter integration. Not only does this bad boy register your weight, body fat, and BMI, but you can now configure it to send your stats to "the Twitter" either daily, weekly, monthly, or each and every time you weigh — and your followers will start dropping faster than even you could imagine. But don’t take our word for it! As our man Cedric Hutchings (the company’s general manager) states, "adding this social functionality makes the WiFi scale by Withings the first true flagship of the Internet of Objects." Right. He might have added that the company’s given "fail whale" an entirely new meaning. Yours for $159.

I am not sure I will be buying one of these little items but I suppose it is a new take on weight watchers and standing at the front. Instead you are trying not to show yourself up in front of your entire Twitter community. I think this is clever little Twitter App but I don’t see it as being a widely used product.
