Looks like the topic of becoming friends with your children in Facebook has “legs.” Today’s Washington Post has a cover story by Lori Aratani on this very topic. There is at least one Facebook group called “No Parents on Facebook” so I guess there is more to come on this subject (and my daughter is clearly not alone in her desire to keep parents out of “her” territory). Here’s a link to the article in the Post: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/03/08/AR2008030801034.html.
