It will be a fun journey for all of us! If you don't mind I will love to list all of the sites that are out there now. I started this research when we bought BabySpot.com in Nov 2006 and the list has considerably grown and as I presume it will keep growing fast! Here is the list not in any particular order: BabySpot.com Totspot.com Parentcity.com Bundlo.com Kinzin.com Mybabyourbaby.com----Ray is a very nice guy! Babiesonline.com Kidmondo.com Ourcutebabies.com BabyChums.com Babysites.com totsites.com Babyjellybeans.com Lil'grams.com Babypost.com Ourbabyhompage.com BabyZone.com Newbaby.com And many more!! I am sorry if I missed you. Feel free to add yours. Some of us are totally free, some of us partially free and some of us are paid for. Guys there is room for everyone! The internet is huge and it's just starting to segment itself. As I am a generation X father of two, I see the need for all of us to be present. Personally I use my BabySpot to share my little ones precious moments to my family overseas. Generation X and Y are all about segmenting the internet and they practically live in a cyberspace world. Most of us have Myspaces, Facebooks, hi5's, friendster's, bebo, etc. I dont see a new parent just staying with one baby/toddler social network, I think they will try many of them and they will just go back to the one which makes them feel right at home. Like twitter has me....but I am signing up for Plurk.com! Member Experience and being responsive is #1 for us! Good luck to all! James James@babyspot.com twitter: jamesatbabyspot Totspot Team,

Then each import from the same 3rd party site for baby news/photos into friendfeed. The same content will show up on your respective facebook pages. If you choose OurDoings as the 3rd-party site, you'll have two ways to import into friendfeed: Either use RSS to treat it as a blog, else choose for yourself when the content is ready for sharing, and send an email+friendfeed update in seconds that includes thumbnails.
