Creepy Twittering Teddy Bear

Alison and Lloyd of technology makeover show My Home 2.0 perform some innovative surgery on an old teddy bear.
The result: a teddy bear that reads your Twitter feed.
The Twittering Teddy also has a UStream channel, so you can tweet about something and then go watch a creepy animatronic teddy bear speak it on live streaming TV:
I’m not sure about this bear’s future as a toy – but it’s a great example of marketers using new media technologies, and creepy fun, too!

Hey James. I’m part of the team working on Twittering Teddy and I just wanted to thank you for featuring our video. The charity auction for Teddy is now live on eBay, so you could have Teddy sitting on your own desk đ

Thanks for the feedback.
The twittering teddy is awesome and also a bit creepy. Not sure if I’d want this guy “speaking” some of the Twitter account’s I’m subscribed to, though!
Let us know how the auction goes!
