So being referenced in an Associated Press article about human attachment to the Roomba, although not named by name, is pretty cool. Lots of newspapers, blogs, magazine sites had links to myroombud.com since we, of course, allow people to cloth their Roombas. The article said that the Georgia Tech professor who did the study became interested in the top of people and Roombas after seeing pictures of people puttting clothing on their Roombas ... hmm I wonder what pictures those were. What was really funny was when people writing articles and blogs based on the article stating that they did not want to put clothing on their Roomba. Now if that doesn't validate our costume covers, I don't know what does.

Well, Halloween is coming up soon, so why the heck don't you put a costume on your little Roomba. You wouldn't send your kids out trick or treating without a costume now would you?

myRoomBud in the Financial Times newspaper out in London. How cool is that. In the article called Robot maid with a mission to clean which was basically about the new iRobot Roomba, Paul Taylor wrote that "Someone has even set up a business making animal costumes for the device (www.myroombud.com)." Guess who that someone is? Us of course.

So how do we get an article in the Wall Street Journal. Now that would impress our papa.

So the Second Life of our SLoomba, that's a Second Life version of the iRobot Roomba, has just begun. We added a way to sign up for Second Life right from the myroombud.com web site. New avatars, that is what the little people in Second Life are called, will start right off at the SLoomba store. And this is just the beginning. Wouldn't it be cool to have your Roomba and SLoomba doing exactly the same thing in real live and Second Life? What about putting together a 3D social network of Roomba owners who can sit in a part watching their SLoombas run around just like doggie owners do on Sunday morning. We even could have SLoomba races in a maze set up at the IBM island in Second Life. Note: we did try this but the SLoomba does a much better vacuuming your rooms than running a maze.
