Tweeting Birth and Twittering Toddlers

Found today:

Valleywag - Oh God, She's Tweeting Childbirth
"At 4 cm. Epidural is in. Doing well."

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."

As Kat points out, there is a fine (sad) line between this an sending emails as your dog ("I wuv my walks.  I wuv dem!  Woof woof!").  Though, as with most things, Minor Tweaks' Fiddler's "Off Leash" column gets this right.
