What is a Furby?
The adorable furby is an owl like robotic toy which first took the world by storm in 1998. These unbelievably cute little creatures can communicate with each other in 'furbish', change their facial expressions, sing, dance and respond to humans in their very own expressive language, in addition to other functions.
Over the years, a range of different Furbys have been introduced; from furby babies to emo-tronic funky furbys. As of September 2012, a new range of furbys have been born, they have very expressive eyes, a broader range of functions and their very own app.

It's definitely more fun with two. I like the part in the video where the furbys are being stroked and they both pur simultaneously. Ah, so cute :)
I watched the video in it;s entirety, they are very advanced. The old furby lover will flip over the new furbys this year. They are so cool. I might have to get one for myself, but it's more fun with two! :)K
Me too, that's definitely the type of furby activity which I would find amusing! :)
Now I wanna see the furby dance to gangnam style...
I suppose so. When my kids want to ask me for money they could approach furby first, see how the land lies. :)
It wouldn't be THAT good, at least not at first- it would mimic the brainwave cat ears just responding to heightened (focused attention or stress) or relaxed brain states maybe a few more triggers like when your BW spike- just simple stuff, ambiguous at best but cool none the less...
katie, I have no idea how I've managed to but I've inadvertently deleted your comment and I can't get it back. But thanks again for tweeting.
Thank you, Katie. I really appreciate that. :)
Jerrico, now that I have to see. I'm not sure I'd want furby to replicate my moods, living with mirror image of self could be problematic. :)
I'm just waiting for the furby to get hooked up to one of those brainwave headsets so it can react to YOUR moods :)
