I have been trying to keep up with all the social networking sites out there for adults, (i.e. MySpace, Facebook, StumbleUpon and others) and what do I learn? There are social networking sites for babies. Really!
Yes there are, and some of them seem like very interesting concepts. Here is a quick run down of what I have seen so far.
Totspot which has the tag line; A private page for your kid. They have a "Totspot blog" too. Their blog will go a long way in helping you understand what this new site is all about.
maya's mom has the tag line; Where parents share. Their blog "The Sandbox at maya's mom" looked like an interesting read where you might get a better understanding of what this site is all about.
Well actually these sites are social networks for parents, ways to meet with other people who have young children and to share in the developmental milestones that children go through, as well as photos. With the ability to share with friends and family.
It occured to me that these sites are not that different from having your own blog devoted to your kids, or focusing your MySpace page on your children as some of my freinds and family do.
I got the idea for this post after reading Totspot its a Social Network for Babies. The article is very informative and the comment section is a good read too, because readers raise many questions that a new parent might have about this type of site.
I also thought it was interesting that the creaters of Totspot, left a comment. To better explain what their site is all about.
So don't be surprised if your babies get their own social network.

Thanks for the post, Baby Buggy Bumper!
You're right, we don't expect tots to be playing with the site themselves. Though, we have been pleasantly surprised to see 5, 6, 7 year olds interested in setting up their TotSpot profiles with Mom by their side after watching their little siblings get set up. We think there's a lot of potential in that type of 'shared-experience.'
