I realize I post about Emma here and in a way am already taking part in something like this, still, there is something profoundly unsettling about this.
NYTimes: Twittering From the Cradle:
Call it convenient. Call it baby overshare. But a host of new sites, including Totspot, Odadeo, Lil'Grams and Kidmondo, now offer parents a chance to forgo the e-mail blasts of, say, their newborn's first trip home and instead invite friends and family to join and contribute to a network geared to connecting them to the baby in their lives."It's an interesting model," said Amanda Lenhart, a senior research specialist for the Pew Internet & American Life Project. "Everyone can decide how much or little they want to know about a baby, which avoids the situation of receiving a few too many e-mails about someone's wonderful child, and parents can decide how much they want to share -- in minimal or maximal ways."
But does the world really need online social networking for babies?
sounds like a cool concept. I'm a member of social networking support site www.anxietytribe.com - part of the www.webtribes.com family - and I find it very helpful.
