Beautiful Surreal Singing Toy
Now I can't tell you too much about this toy, except that it is gorgeous and quite a bit of fun. The problem is that it is all in spanish (I think). I am assuming that it has been created to promote the singer that sings along as you play. She is a very lovely singer at that.

10 Fun Twitter Toys
This is my collection of 10 fun toys to expand your Twitter experience.
1. TWord_Chains
Play word chains with tweets. Never-ending games where you morph new words out of old words. Keep each chain going as long as possible.
2. Tweet Quiz
Challenges you with simple categorical questions for which multiple answers exist. You need to find as many answers that will match the predetermined, hidden answers each with a point value.
3. TwitterLit
It's a site that serves up literary teasers twice daily. At 9:00 AM and 9:00PM Eastern Time I post the first line of a book, without the author's name or book title, but with a link to Amazon so readers can see what book the line is from.
4. PanicBot
This is a very funny bot that tweets at random intervals - OH JESUS ****! THE TIME SUDDENLY CHANGED ON MY TANDY! or OMFG! FACEBOOK AND THE TWITTERS ARE HAVING PROBLEMS!**** !
5. TwtBox
A video Dukebox playing tracks from Twitter user requests.
6. Twoilet
Listings of funny, toilet humour inspired twitters.
7. TweetBomb
Clever idea. Every day you will be sent the username of someone to Tweetbomb. When you receive the name, you sent them a blank tweet. Must drive people bonkers.
8. TweetTest
6 clever little games that use data from your Twitter account.
9. JTorrance
The caretaker of The Shining fame. Funny - "Aspiring playwright and recovering alcoholic. Currently winter caretaker at the Overlook Hotel."
10. Forecast
Send Forecast your zip/post code and it will Twitter you regular weatcher forecasts.
Have Fun!

Tone Matrix - An Experiment in Lovely Sound
This is a nice idea from the brain of Andre Michelle, an interactive toy hero. It consists of a grid which you cells. Each horizontal row produces a different noise and the sounds play repeatedly like a sequencer. You can produce surprisingly nice music.

The TwitterMagnets site is a lovely little idea. It allows you to create a poem using pretend fidge magnet words and then Twitter it. What do you think of my beautiful creation:
