That's quite an ordeal you and your wife went through. Congratulations on the newest member of your family. I love this post. You pose great questions. It's timely. I may have to blog about this myself but I wanted to add my thoughts to the mix here as well. There was a time when ANY personal info felt too personal for the internet. But today, with social media, more and more of us seem open to sharing much of our lives online. Kids seem more aware of their surroundings. Think about this - kids who are abducted are usually the ones predators think no one is watching. If every kid had a blog, with updated pictures and vital stats, it could possibly make them less attainable. They could be more recognizable in the world. And possibly watched over. I like to believe that most people are good at heart. I dunno. If I went missing right now, there would be a trail showing exactly where I was seen last. I wonder if that's a good thing... I'll have to ponder this more. Good stuff! Hi Jason,

For me personally, I would probably stay off the computer for a while and focus on the in-person stuff. Professional related stuff on the computer takes enough time out of my life as is, so it would be a welcome break for me.

Great meeting you at BS08 - and wonderful news about your new daughter. One of the best aspects of Twitter is that I can follow people professionally and get a glimpse into their personal life as well, all in real time - that's what makes Twitter more intriguing to me than blogs in many ways. Screw the person that criticized you for Twittering, wonder what they'll say when I live Twitter my labor (for my as yet unborn child with my as yet unchosen husband...;) Congrats Jason!

I don't know what to say. What a great discussion here. Thank you to all for the conversation and the comments. I missed being online most of the day to keep track of my three year old while we got Nancy and Katie home from the hosptial. I logged on in the evening to both fantastic and more comments than I think I've ever had in a single day. I'd love to answer each one of them, but time constraints are an issue -- Katie's next feeding is in a few mintues and I'm up. Needless to say, I appreciate the congratulations and the support. As I suspected, and believe, the decision on how much to share is an individual one. Thank you, Susan, for sharing your story. There are certainly dangers we must all be aware of. I'm sorry you had a bad experience. My hope is that A) It's over for you and B) That type of experience is an exception to the rule. Again, thank you all for the discussion. This has truly been a fun Monday. Wow everyone! I don’t know what to say. What a great discussion here. Thank you to all for the conversation and the comments.
