Withings WiFi body Scale Gets Social Aspect

Nov 11 2009, 5:56am CST | by Shane McGlaun

You may recall that cool Withings WiFi body scale that I reviewed not long ago. The scale is a neat and accurate way to track your weight loss and fitness goals and it sends the measurements to your computer and your iPhone.

Withings has announced a new feature for the scale that builds Twitter integration into the scale. That means that your scale will Twitter your weight and BMI among other details for you. I think most of us are probably thinking the same thing at this point, why would we want everyone on Twitter to know how much we weigh?

The Twitter feature will not be activated by default, which is good news. The update will post the current weight of the user and how much weight they need to lose or gain to reach their goals. The scale retails for $159.
