We have a bunch of friends who just had babies. Like, six couples within the last two weeks. And while we love you, and we love your babies (we really do!), we don't need to know every time your baby takes a shit, and frankly, we don't care that much.
We know you're excited, and we know that you care, and that's great and all, but do you really need to update your Facebook status to reflect your newborn's every move? Because remember when we said we loved your baby? Even though we want to look at baby pictures and drool over him every once in a while, you're actually making it very hard for us to love him right now.
Before you get all defensive, we have a solution we hope will work for everybody.
See, there are people who do care that you're having trouble deciding between Seventh Generation and Huggies diapers. There are other parents out there who are updating their status every five minutes and clogging their friends' feeds with 20 copies of the exact same picture except they're not the exact same picture because the baby's head might be at a different angle or his eyes might be open in this one.
You should be with those people.
That's why we want someone to start Babybook.com. It's like Facebook, but for people with babies. And when we want to see baby pictures we'll go look at Babybook and when we want to come home drunk and poke random dudes and not have to think about what might happen if that poke turns into more, we'll go to Facebook.
It worked for Nerve. When all the hookups resulted in baby-making Babble was born. Nerve keeps its edge, and when we want to talk about Ritalin and poopy diapers, we go to Babble.
Yes, we know someone is squatting at Babybook.com, but this will be big, we promise. Please just give us some credit. And $10,000.
