Facebook is a social networking site. It is intended for people who want to stay in contact with their old friends and stalk them accordingly.

Why in the hell would anyone create a facebook account for their child?

I understand if you want your friends to see pictures of your kid. I have no objection to that. Just put in on your own facebook. Create albums for your kid. Make your status about your kid. Hell, put your kid's face as your profile picture if it's so damn imporant.

I wouldn't want my mother creating an account for me. I wouldn't even want my mom to get facebook and add me as a friend, let alone create an account for me, add all of her friends and proceed to put embarassing baby photos all over the goddamn internet.

Why do we use facebook?

It's an easy way of sorting out your address book and contacting people without picking up the phone or sending an awkward email.

Why would a newborn baby need facebook?

So they can immediately be friends with all his/her parent's friends before they can even talk.

It seems like exploitation to me. Putting up pictures of your baby so your friends can see is one thing. Adding all your friends to your child's account is another.

What happens ten years from now when your child actually uses facebook for its intended purpose and decides that he/she no longer wants to be friends with all your old drinking buddies?

Ouch.

This is retarded. Don't create an account for your child and insist that all your friends befriend him or her. It's just stupid. Do it the old fashioned way and make a damn scrapbook.
