A couple of years back there was talk about how everything would be connected to the internet from your microwave, kettle and fridge… this haven’t quite come to the fore front yet but one thing that is now connected and available for sale is your little bathroom scale!

Gone are the days of checking your weight and marking it off every day but keeping it from your friends, now this little bugger sends your information to the internet. This can be kept personal if you wish but there is a grouping feature for friends or family. The service willalso suggest healthy items to eat or that you should work out. The one benefit could be for weigh-less groups who can monitor each other and help each other out.

This scale will be on sale in November for $119 and $20 for a 3 month weight loss subscription. Not sure if you need the subscription or not.

Image every day on Facebook your status – “Daniel weighed in this morning at 105kg, 2kg’s heavier than yesterday!”

It could encourage people quite a bit to shed a few kilos, not sure how the girls would take to everyone knowing their weight.
