This is assuming that digital anonymity will even be possible when the kids are grown. I post, but I don't tag, pictures of the kids. If they want to do that when they are old enough for their own accounts they can.

I'm 13 and None of My Friends Use Facebook
I've been noticing this. Offered to discuss getting an account for my son (who isn't on any networks that I know of) and he said that he didn't want one. I was relieved.

I'm 13 and None of My Friends Use Facebook:
"Although I do have a Facebook, none of my other friends do. My friends just thought it was a waste of time. I decided to get a Facebook just to see what it was all about. I soon discovered that Facebook is useless without friends. My only friend is, like, my grandma."

Farewell, Snip.it (& thanks!)
So, Snip.it was bought by Yahoo and is being shut down. They've put together a "Hall of Fame" of contributors and I was named as one of the top contributors in the "Politics & World" category...
From an email I received from their Content Director:
I want to personally thank you for all your amazing contributions to the product, both in your snips and in your feedback to us. I’ve been continually impressed by all the interesting, unique content you’ve unearthed, as well as your thoughtful commentary on it. The quality of your contributions made the site an absolute joy to browse.
To honor all of your support and contributions, we’ve included you in our Snip.it Hall of Fame, a place to celebrate our top snippers. We’ve included your Twitter handle, so people can continue to follow your insights.
We've also created a Snip.it Hall of Fame, where we’re honoring some of the top contributors to the Snip.it community. We’ve included their Twitter handles so you can continue to stay connected and follow their insights.
I joined Snip.it while it was still in beta and have posted to it more days than not since then. They’ve been cool, it’s a great service, and their staff has been very supportive. From nearly the beginning, they featured my content, which I was pretty proud of, and I seem to have attracted quite a few followers there.
Supposedly, they will be reinventing themselves with Yahoo. I hope so. They were a great service.
We are thrilled at the opportunity to bring Snip.it's vision to a larger scale at Yahoo!. While we can't share the specifics of what we'll be building, we are excited about the opportunity to take social news to new, exciting heights at Yahoo!. The Yahoo! team is passionate about inspiring and entertaining the world’s daily habits, and certainly sharing news and information is something we all do every day. The vision and energy at the company is contagious, and we’re so excited to be part of all that is to come.
So now, I just need to figure out what to do with the links I’ve saved there. There are a couple ways to download them for future use, and I’ll be taking a look at how to get these back out there, when I have a little time…
I just deleted the Snip It button from my browser. That makes me sad.
Unfortunately, in life, with both the good and the bad, “This, too, shall pass…”

Yahoo Is In Talks To Buy A Site We Actually Use, Snip.It
Snip.It is a social site that resembles a mash up of Pinterest's collections and Instapaper's ability to save links for consumption later.

Yahoo Poised to Acquire Content Curation Site Snip.it - Liz Gannes - News - AllThingsD:
Snip.it was founded by Ramy Adeeb, who was formerly a principal at Khosla Ventures, and has funding from Khosla, True Ventures, Charles River Ventures and SV Angel.
Yahoo is paying “mid teens” of millions of dollars for the company, according to a source.
…
Kara Swisher yesterday described Yahoo’s new approach to content:While one might argue that Google is already the Google of content, the plan is to make Yahoo more relevant by tailoring it to the individual and make the site a “trusted destination to get them to where they want to go and keep going back.”
Thus, the thinking goes, while Google is the place people come to search for links, Yahoo then becomes the place users come to find content. That means more partnership deals from third-party sources, with an additional social component layer and synced across a number of devices and platforms, especially video.

One Day On Earth: 12.12.12… So it begins
Pretty much the same post I threw up in late October about NaNoWriMo 2012.
Between working on this project and finishing the NaNoWriMo novel (I did get over 50,000 words in during November to “win” the event), I won’t be posting much on the blogs until 2013.
I wanted to do something quick and easy for One Day since the more complex idea a friend and I had will be impossible, since I am in Sacramento and not Portland, but things happen and after doing some planning and discovering that there is a theme for this years event, my idea for this year will be pretty complicated to edit.
Of course, I won’t be filming until Wednesday 12.12.12, but before then there is some prep work, and after there is going to be a whole bunch of editing. And a whole bunch of writing on the novel. And a whole bunch of major life stuff.
So the blogs will remain on hold for the time being.
Yes, this is being reposted everywhere…

Fun with PTC Sites: PTC Sense
Another road leading to broken promises and false hope? This is actually the same people who ran the last one I posted about, Fine PTC…
PTC Sense (ptcsense.com) - Is it a Scam? | Not Recommended:
Connected to other scams - This site is being ran by the same people who owned DingoBux, PTC Wallet, RichPTC, and other scams. Most likely the one behind GPT Network, Michael Pratt. Also ValueBux traffic is being redirected to PTCSense. Valuebux is another GPTNetwork site that ended up scamming a lot of people.
Since this is the same people, Michael Pratt and GPT Network, the information on the last post is valid for this one. Again, it’s probably all about the money. Same unrealistic promises made with PTC Sense as was made with Fine PTC.
All My Base Belong to You...: Fun with PTC Sites: fineptc.com:
"Well looks like their other sites have scammed as much as they could. So they open up another site with a fresh name hoping to do the same. Lets hope people are doing their research before they start upgrading and wasting their time on this site."
