Babies on Facebook and Twitter

Sound absurd? Well, take a look at what's already happening...

Celebrity mum Dannii Minogue created a Twitter account for her unborn baby and he tweeted from the womb. Lance Armstrong's daughter and son were barely a day old when they started to tweet and write on their Facebook walls about how their first days of life were treating them.

Ok, so sometimes the world of celeb parents is rather far from reality, but not this time! Parents in the real world are at it, too. Aside from tweeting updates through their labour and birth and uploading a constant stream of baby photos onto Facebook, parents are going one step further and setting up a page for their babies! For example, Totspot lets parents create a social networking style page for their child. In the first month alone, 8,500 pages were started.

Could we soon see a new dinky iPad or baby-Blackberry especially for little hands and small fingers?
