Rambler are a pair of sneakers that use the Twitter platform to literally microblog every step you take. A sensor embedded under the sole detects when the wearer is walking. This information is sent via bluetooth to a mobile phone that makes the postings on Twitter.
When the sensor detects a certain amount of pressure, the word 'step' is posted. When you're sitting at your computer tapping your feet, the word 'tap' is posted. Following these postings one can know if the wearer is walking or not and also predict his speed.
