Does your baby's diaper need changed? There's an app for that. Huggies has developed an app that will send you a tweet every time your baby wets his diaper. The TweetPee app uses a clip-on sensor attached to the baby's diaper. When it senses humidity, it tweets the parent, or can notify mutliple people. However the sensor will only work with specially designed Huggies' diapers. The app is being testing in Brazil, and it expected to launch in July. The company said the app also helps parents keep track of the number of diapers being used.
