Blippy is a website where people obsessively review everything they buy.
Withings Wifi Body Scale
It's a great scale. Takes a few minutes to set up, because you have to hook it up to your computer and run a program. When I got the scale, they only had Mac/Windows programs, not Linux.
The only downside is that it's not always consistent. I can step on/off the scale a few times and see the weight vary by a pound or more. That's really not good. But the convenience of uploading my data online is worth it for me. It can also send your data to Google Health if you want.

We'll have to make sure our scales can tweet each other. :)

Matt, should we have a Twitter account that just rolls up the Tweets from a handful of our Withings scales?

Wow - you bought this! I've been on the fence for a week about this! The iPhone and web apps look shockingly awesome.

I love the idea of the Withings scale, but I've noticed that the consistency is poor. I got differences up to two pounds (!) just by stepping off and back on.
