They are more focused on letting you set up your own Baby site .. an Album online that can never be lost or destroyed plus you can add stories of moments I don't want to forget. ... I think that is better then having babies talk to babies thru their mothers. Plus they have a Babiesonline user name on Myspace for socializing with the other moms and dads...
