Mostly, this seems like a useless toy. I doubt the child is going to have any idea that they are communicating when they play with the pictures. Possibly, the Twoddler to Twoddler communication could be popular among young children, but I'm not sure that they would realize that their actions influenced their friends board, especially if they are not close together.

Toddler's Twittering
A prototype device, Twoddler, allows toddlers to tweet. The device looks a lot like a baby's activity board, except that it has presumably user-inserted pictures on it. If the child plays with a picture long enough, the board sends a predetermined tweet to that person. Twoddler also allows users to press buttons and turn knobs on their Twoddler and make other Twoddler light up and play sounds.
