People love to make fun of Twitter and all the minute by minute inanity that gets broadcasted for all the world to hear, or at least the Twittersphere. There have been yucks about plants twittering how thirsty they are or your home letting the world know how much energy you are using but that all pales to the newest way to use this hot broadcast medium.
Courtesy of Instructables you can – with the help of your office chair – let the world know when you have farted.
Yes .. Farted.
Isn’t it amazing the capacity of the human mind to take just about anything and make it do something totally stupid. I don’t mean just frat brother Animal House stupid but incredibly useless stupid.

Broadcasted isn't a word. And Twitter was stupid to begin with.

Perhaps there is a medical application for such technology, but if my flatulence is being monitored for medical purposes I sure wouldn't want to broadcast it via Twitter. That would probably violate U.S. law (HIPAA) anyway…
