MySpace for Babies? Say It Isn’t So!
Do you have a child aged 0-5? If so, does the apple of your eye have his or her own social networking Web page?
No? Well, you’d better get right on it before your infant or toddler labels you hopelessly old-fashioned and un-cool.
Yes, it’s true. At TotSpot, your young ’un can have her own free page, where she can post photos and videos of her first tooth, first step, and first temper tantrum. She can highlight milestones such as “fully potty trained” and “smeared face with chocolate frosting on third birthday.”
And, of course, your youngster can invite other babies to be her “friend.” And all her “friends” will receive an e-mail whenever she posts new content (your baby does have an e-mail address, right?)
Like me, you’re probably wondering: But what about security? Won’t this site be a haven for predators? Adam Katz, co-founder of the site, says that only invited family and friends can view your page.
But what if your “friends” aren’t really friends at all? And what if no one wants to be your “friend”? Won’t that irrevocably damage your child’s self-esteem?
I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.
If you yearn to introduce your child to the world of social networking now, before he’s six years old and the whole social networking thing becomes old hat, you’d better plop that baby on your lap right this second, click over to TotSpot and help him create his very own page.

Wow, that’s a bit over the top, I’d say. I’m a pretty big technical geek and love all the gadgets but I think sharing my child’s accomplishments on my blog is plenty good enough for now!
