Love Bunnies: Facebook Sex Toys Make Your Profile Even More Self Indulgent

Jonnobot — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 12:35:02 EDT

As if Facebook weren't enough of a giant circle jerk already, the marital aid impresarios at LoveHoney have come up with what they're calling "the world's first Facebook sex toy". Although you can "change your Love Bunny's mood" and ~~annoy~~ turn on your friends by getting them to install the application and "flirting" with their Love Bunnies, the main thing it seems to do is sit there on your profile and look cute—that is, unless you decide to buy one of the company's real-life Love Bunny vibrators too, which will come complete with its own name and birth certificate. Talk about giving Facebook pokes a whole new meaning.

Sex Toy TechWatch: Introducing Twitterdildonics

Fleshbot — Mon, 26 Mar 2007 17:15:56 EDT

In case merely looking at sexy furniture pics was leaving you a bit frustrated, you might be interested in this interview starring Fleshbot Gal Friday Violet Blue (we're not sure which version), who went booty-to-booty with Slashdong's qDot at SXSW in Austin last week to unveil his latest teledildonic invention: the Twitterdildonic sofa, which uses a text feed from the already buzzworthy Twitter miniblogging service in conjunction with a software-engineered Rez Trance Vibrator to create the world's "first augmented reality couch". Even though he modestly calls his new tech mashup "completely useless", qDot has supplied the source code for anyone who wants to rig up one of these to replace that old Barcalounger in the living room—though all it takes is one look at Violet's face while she's sitting on the prototype during the interview to convince us that IKEA needs to start mass production on these things immediately. Who knows—it might even make sitting there looking at boring celebrity sex tapes all evening something to actually look forward to!
