Appropriate to Post Personal Questions on Facebook Wall?
Sure, Facebook accounts make for an easy way for mom to connect with friends and keep them posted on the major milestones like baby's first steps to the mundane — the number of diapers she's changed. But, should the publishing of personal items be up to her or is it appropriate for inquiring minds to pose questions on her wall — have her postpartum stitches healed or what she really thinks of her nanny? Along those lines, what about putting women on the wall spot by asking if their fertility treatment worked, how much they charge to babysit or when they plan on having children?
School Year's Resolutions: Edit What Goes on Internet!

Are You an Online Networking Mama?
It seems that everyone is "twittering" away or loading pictures onto their Facebook accounts these days. Even President Barack Obama has a Facebook page to keep his fans in the know.

Target's Bullseye Gives Allows Public to Determine Giving
Many shopping mamas toss a dollar in the bucket or on their bill at the checkstand, wondering how retailers determine which charity to support.
Target is taking a different approach with Bullseye Gives, which asks Facebook users to go online and vote how the company should distribute the $3 million it donates to charities on a weekly basis.

Uncommonly Cute: Famous on Facebook
Andy Warhol once said that everybody would have their 15 minutes of fame. What the talented artist didn't know back then was that there would be an online networking phenomenon called Facebook.

Moms Angered as Breastfeeding Pics Banned on Facebook
The social networking site Facebook has sparked a large debate after recently removing pictures of women breastfeeding on the site. Facebook spokesman Barry Schnitt said, "Photos containing a fully exposed breast (as defined by showing the nipple or areola) do violate those terms (on obscene, pornographic or sexually explicit material) and may be removed."
As photos are being taken down from the site, many breastfeeding advocates are furious, and have joined forces in a new group called Hey, Facebook, breastfeeding is not obscene!
