REAL LIFE NEWS: LET YOUR FEET TELL YOUR FRIENDS WHERE YOU ARE

by Hazed

If you're a Twitterer - someone who likes to post messages on the social networking site, Twitter, to tell your followers where you are and what you are doing - then you will love this invention. A new set of shoes with built in GPS and Bluetooth will tell your friends exactly where you are as you walk around.

The shoes are called Blue GPS because of their Bluetooth capacity. The wearer inputs up to give phone numbers of family or friends into his or her* mobile and then pushes a button on the shoe to activate a link with those on the list.

There is a marginally more useful feature, too: another button on the shoes can be pressed to make a 991 call.

Read more about these ridiculous shoes here.

* Let's face it, it's probably going to be a man that finds this idea cool!
