Football fans can “feel the game” with vibrating shirt

As Euro 2016 continues in France, an Australian wearable technology company wants fans to experience the atmosphere wherever they are.  Sydney-based Wearable Experiments have created a range of tops which are embedded with various vibrating sensors, allowing fans to “feel the same emotional sensations players experience during a game”. With no price tag or release date, it remains to be seen whether the experiment will be more than a publicity stunt. But it certainly caught our attention.

Wimbledon relaunch emojis

Wimbledon is set to serve as much digital innovation as possible at this year’s tournament, and so have naturally re-introduced the emojis triggered by hashtags #Wimbledon, #TheHill and including the quintessentially British #TheQueue:

Me and #NoleFam have a role to play in launching #Wimbledon emoji. We are passionate, let's show some emoji-ons 🙂 pic.twitter.com/um3J7ii38B

Spurs sign Wanyama…and his spaghetti

Victor Wanyama is not only known as a defensive midfield maestro, but also for his strange observations posted on social media. Now at over 32,000 retweets, his infamous spaghetti tweet topped Chelsea’s equally momentous Champions League winning 140-character notification. So Spurs have decided to reveal the signing appropriately:

We signed @VictorWanyama and he was very nice we enjoyed it

And the fans love it:

The UK has left the EU and Spurs are tweeting pictures of Wanyama holding uncooked spaghetti. I love my club.
