Ooooh.
Here’s a nifty little gadget internet addicts (especially Facebook addicts) would loooove to own.
Honestly, I probably have a Facebook addiction. SWEAR! I edit my Facebook status a couple gazillion times a day, spend a lot of time commenting on my friend’s posts, stalking checking up on people, checking out their photos, playing Restaurant City… oh, the list goes on and on and on!
Anyway, this little gadget I’m talking about is the Arimaz’s MyDeskFriend. It’s a little robot penguin (hello, robot penguin, that alone is like geek chic!) that can be integrated into your Facebook profile.
There’s apparently going to be a Facebook game or app that you use to feed the or play with the penguin, think Tamagotchi. Overtime, your MyDeskFriend develops a personality. Cool, huh? Not only that, the penguin actually talks! It can read your Facebook messages, tell you if your friends go online and more!
And guess what? It can also move around your desk!
I’m actually pretty intrigued about this gadget and can’t wait for it when it goes on sale this coming September.
For the meantime, check out this video!

It’s cute, but I want cuter! And the visor sucks. If I could change it’s hat, like with hair or a cowboy hat or snow hat, I’d like it a bit more. Do you know a release date? The website has virtually no information.
Restaurant City is tops, also addicted to Pet Society and for some reason 101eggs, which is completely ridiculous.
