21st century jewelry
It sounds like something out of a William Gibson novel. A German designer has produced the VanityRing. It's like a modern day mood ring. But doesn't measure how you're feeling. It measures -- get this -- how many times your name comes up in a Google search. As the creator explains, "Rings are well known status symbols, and the included jewel's weight in carat is a comparable value for the personal ranking of its owner. . . . The VanityRing doesn't have a jewel, instead it shows the number of hits one gets, when he searches Google for the name of the person who wears it, a more adequate value in our time." (HT: PSFK)
