If collecting digital assurances that people enjoy your online company isn't validating enough for you, you're in luck.
Researchers at the MIT Media Lab have created a vest that hugs you every time a friend "likes" one of your Facebook posts. The Like-A-Hug vest is linked to your Facebook account and automatically inflates inward when you receive a "like."
The vest allows you to reciprocate, of course: to return the favor, just squeeze it with your arms until it deflates. Link

But what about the real sausages I wear around my neck? That's how I get my cat to hug me.

I shouldn't let it worry you, the vest appears to wrap a string of sausages around your neck when you get an excessive number of likes, which is never a good look.

Well played. Apparently it doesn't, but this does explain why I hadn't gotten any hugs in a while.:(

Does it pull a hood over your eyes when you post a duplicate story on Neatorama? :o)

I need a "dislike" interface for this "like" interface.
