Two fascinating new uses of Twitter:

I missed this in the LA Times, this past November, but apparently there’s a scale available called the Wi-Fi Body Scale that sends weight and body fat info directly to Web pages and mobile devices.   It now connects to Twitter. Oh, and it only costs $159.

Today in the BayNewser courtesy of MediaBistro, there’s a story about how a sheriff in Texas is tweeting the names of people arrested for drunk driving. Wow.
