Oct 15 2007Google Vanity Ring Is A Status Symbol
The Vanity Ring, a project by Markus Kison, is an update of the ring as a status symbol. Basically it keeps a running tab on the number of Google hits your name gets. You personalize the ring using some custom software, and every night you plug the little sucker into its docking station and it updates your hit count. Great idea, if you're famous and vain as hell. But if you're anything like me, the counter will never pass the number you do yourself unless you change your name to "nude pictures", "free porn", or "hot singles ready to have sex in my area".

Interesting stuff. I don't think the appeal would be for anyone other than celebrities or hip hop stars....hmm

and any celebrities or hip hop stars would want something a bit more flashy than this plastic piece of poop, so for me its no sale.

Ya know I'd get one but I don't wanna explain 15 times a day why my ring always has a ton of zeros on it.
