Both Engadget and Livewell 360 have recently reported on the Withings Connected Body Scale which tracks your body weight, body fat, and lean mass along with how many more pounds you have to go to reach your desired weight.
That’s awesome, and what’s great about it is that since it’s WiFi enabled it can send that data to a program on your iPhone so that you can do cool things with it.
The New News
Withings has now given the scale an ability to tweet your results, via Twitter, to all of your followers on a daily, weekly or monthly basis.
I really like the concept of Social Health, but would you feel comfortable broadcasting the particulars of the space you occupy to everybody who follows you? Is this too much information for a general population?
I’m interested to get your take on this newly formed Twitter integration. Is this a good or bad thing, or do you even care about it? Let us know in the comments.
