Toddler 2.0
When my niece was born, my gift to my brother and sister in law was to buy her her own domain.
When Z was born, I snapped one up for him as well.
Now, as he gets older and develops a love for things like The Flip, I’ve realized he’s going to need more and better social networking tools.
So I’ve grabbed him his own Viddler account, his own Twitter account, and his own Gmail account.
I would have tossed him up on Facebook as well, but there are age restrictions keeping children off the site. Sure, I could just lie about his age, but who knows if Facebook will even be around in 10 years.
Most of the reasons for grabbing the domain, Gmail and Twitter was to squat on his name so that he’ll have something useful when he’s older. The other part of the reason I got them is, well, I’m a geek.
