You know how some people set up Facebook profiles for their pets? Well, Puppy Tweets aims to get dogs on Twitter. Mattel developed a plastic USB tak that syncs with your computer that can be placed on a pet’s collar, attached to a pet profile on Twitter and posts its daily activities as tweets.

Puppy Tweets brings the idea of pets as humans to a whole new level. Your pet's tweets will be pre-programmed and will be generated by sounds and motions made by the animal during the day. Of course all this connectivity isn’t free. Puppy Tweets will retail for $29.99 and be available in Fall 2010.
