I woke up this morning to my husband, Tim, fidgeting with his Blackberry (a/k/a Crackberry) in excitement. Our 18 year old college son, Patrick, had invited him to Google Latitude which enables anyone he invites in to see his physical location at any time. We both agreed at that point that our 15 year old social butterfly needed it on his phone as soon as possible!
From there we started talking about the new craze on Facebook ... "25 Random Things About Me" (see Washington Post Style Front Page, 2/6/09)). Tim mentioned that Patrick's friend Sarah was "tagged" and subsequently succumbed to the trend. How did he know THAT? Well, he was on Patrick's Facebook and read his comment back to Sarah. Duh!
I commented to Tim that he was such a "social networking" kinda guy, feeling so hip with my new techy lingo. His response was, "No baby, I'm a 2.0 kinda guy." What the hell is that? He wouldn't tell me ... only that if I had to ask, I was totally unhip or I think he said, "You are not a Modern Mom!" No, I don't want to be unhip . I AM MODERN! I want to be with the in-crowd. And yet it changes every 5 minutes, how can a Modern Mom stay in touch? Well, that's what I have kids for!
So, if you want to be Modern and know what 2.0 really means ... Google it!
