"Rambler are a pair of sneakers, developed by Ricardo Nascimento and Tiago Martins, that use the Twitter platform to literally microblg every step you take.
Everyone that uses the microblog service notice the massive amount of useless information that is spread over there. This project intent to criticize this by posting literally every step you take in real life.
A sensor embedded under the sole detects when the wearer is walking.
This information is sent via blooetooth to a mobile phone that makes the postings on Twitter.
When the sensor detects a certain amount of pressure, the word “step” is posted. For the other moments the “.” symbol is posted. Following these postings one can know if the wearer is walking or not and also predict his speed."

That is so crazy and futuristic!
xoxox,

No!! Oh my goodness, what are people thinking lol. Just crazy! I don't think anyone would want to read your tweets if your just putting, step step step.
Hahaha! This is so funny. It's like a tracking device. Hmmmmm... will I wear it? That is the big question!!!
I love sarcasm in design. These are so fantastic.
Yeah that sounds kind of annoying. LOL! Interesting though!
oh for the love of god! the shoes are cute enough, but.............!!!!!!!
last night on the colbert report he showed a couple of new twitter-type sites. one shows every stupid purchase you make. WHO CARES. the other shows every person that just had sex (and bothered to post about it).
WHO CARES about all this trivial crap?!?! i guess one day we will all look back on this stuff and laugh. i guess!
So pointless but I think they look really cute.
That's kind of nutty. I understand the point they're making. (And largely agree with it.) But people are going to un-follow you if you do this!
that is just.....odd to me!
thanks for stopping by yesterday, am new follower
Cheers,

seriously?! hahaha
LOL*goodness gracious!
I'm still waiting for the cure for cancer...among other things~
xo*
Wow, my twitter friends would hate me if I had these.
with this kind of technology....it's a wonder the creator hasn't obtained total world domination! ;)
~hl~
What in the world.... ?? Hmmmm.... the things that people will come up with!
Like Elizabeth said... sarcasm in design is great. I think its hilarious! But pointless too.
Hahaa..Sounds very hilarious and interesting!
WOW. that's all i can say
This is such a cool idea! Twitter really is going to be EVERYWHERE!
oh my gosh! is this for real!! i seriously can't believe how crazy this is!!! i couldn't imagine anyone wanting to know literally every step i take! ha!
That is kind of freaky! I bet some suspecting wives will buy this for their husbands... "Why did you walk to Kelly's after work today???" ha
Well considering the fact that I ABSOLUTELY CANNOT STAND TWITTER and the twits that twat all the time (yes I meant to say twat)...you can guess that I think these shoes are ridiculous. That and the fact that they look like a third grade project. Bahaha!
But the techno part of them is pretty fascinating. What will they think of next?
hahaha, I love this idea since so many of the ramblings on twitter blaze through me like the tap...tap...tap...sneaker.
I much rather read the sneakers tapping than some of the twitter messages out there.
omg how funny! That would be so annoying to be friends with someone who wore them!
Wow! Ridiculous! :)
That's about as useless as a cooking bowl in my hand...but certainly twice as intriguing!
All you'd see for my walking log: "........squeak...........squeak......(6:30 pm, work is done) pitter patter pitter patter pitter patter pitter patter!"
oh my god.
Oh my gosh, this is hilarious! Technology never ceases to amaze me!
Thanks for all of your nice comments on my blog, lady! I am now a follower of you!
I like this!! I can tell when my friends are being ridicolously lazy!!! =)
Amazing! Whats next,LOL.
are they real? i won't ever use them... When I'm out I don't wanna be followed by nobady!
There are so many stupid ideas that come to fruition. Why are none of them mine? Haha.
So crazy!! How annoying would that be if you followed someone who had those?!!?
That's really weird
HAHAH!! Oh, my, god! The irony of these is amaaazing.
Oh man! Such a hinderance in privacy!! But they look really cute! :)
(Me following ur blog.. Really interesting!)
it's pretty creative & cool...but those are going to be the most boring Tweets EVER lol
WHAT is the point in that??
this is horrible haha
haha this is funny! :D
By the way, I'm completely flattered that you paid a visit to my blog and even commented! That means a looooooooot to me!!! :) Much love!
xoxo
P.S.: You have so many followers that I will not even be noticeable! :)
oh my gosh that is INSANE??? could you image following their twitter feed???
ok my last comment was printed before i was done!! lol...but seriously those shoes are crazy!! have a good friday lady, i can't wait for sunday!! GO COLTS!!!! love you iva!!
Point taken...if we get any more micro, we'll disappear ...
Oh wow. That's seriously funny! I wish I knew someone with those just to see a few of their tweets. Hilarious! You find the best stuff!
well I guess you cant lie about how much you've walked or where you been..ha ha...the shoes are cute though
that is sooo weird
LOL! The shoes are cute,the rest are just annoying!
Hahaha, this is actually super funny! I guess some people want others to know when and how long they are walking? hahaha, thanks for the comment on my post!
hmmm...these bother...i don't like the need to know every detail of everyone's life that is coming about...i hope it fizzles out soon...it's weird.
Wow, that is creative--someone is really thinking.
Interesting project....intriguing. Happy Friday to you as well :)
Oh, I love this!!!
Oh my gosh thats insane!!!
People do come up with the most peculiar things!!
Have a beautiful weekend ~~
xoxo Laura
That is so funny! You know someone thinks that this is the greatest idea ever.
Hilarious!
I think these'd be good wives with slimy husbands. They could count the "."s it takes to make it home and know if their hubs took any detours...assuming of course people wouldn't get on a moving vehicle...and only walked to every destination...
Is it just me or is it nutty that people who invent these things make a killing? I need to stop thinking of "good" ideas, and just come up with some random invention :)
yikes! talk about lack of privacy! lol! very futuristic!!!! Happy Friday girl, hope you have a great weekend!
Ha ha, that makes me giggle and wonder what else they will come up with!
Oh. My. Gosh. Truly, there are no other words for this. What will they come up with next? :)
wow!! That is crazy!
OMG, that is so funny! I wonder who actually does it!! It'd be hilarious to follow.
jajajajaja wth?!?!?!?! But wow to the technology behind it.
