So, we’ll probably file this one under extreme uses of social media for your baby, but Boing Boing made a recent post about the Kickbee. Pictured below, the Kickbee automatically tweets baby movements and kicks into your twitter stream. And the New York Times thought Twittering from the Cradle was outlandish!
Besides pointing out this wild new contraption, we thought this would be a great opportunity to check in with our users about Twitter. We’ve had many requests for various forms of Twitter integrations with TotSpot - either being able to update TotSpot profiles in various ways from Twitter or being able to broadcast TotSpot updates to twitter. We’re also considering a few different possibilities for Twitter integrations for our upcoming Groups feature.
Given the meteoric rise of Twitter, and the amazing community of parents on Twitter, we definitely want to make incorporating Twitter a priority. But we want to do it smartly! So, TotSpot users, how, if at all, would you like to see us work with Twitter?
Let us know either in comments below or via email!

Also, if you haven’t yet, check out TotSpot’s Twitter account. We will be using it increasingly to make announcements about new features, service updates, and special promotions!




Unless parents made a Twitter account for their child, and then posted on behalf of them, and then TotSpot synced those posts to the TotSpot child profile status updates… it seems like it would be unlikely that more than a very small subset of users who would go through that many hoops.
What you could do, however, is allow the TotSpot status updates of children to be pushed to a parent’s Twitter account. So you could have a Twitter post with something like, “[#babyusername on TotSpot]: hanging out in my bouncy seat”.
