Kinzin - You Should Do It, too!

I’m a fairly private person, especially when it comes to exact details about my family, and especially about my son, ATK.

I recently blogged, saying “I’m sure there are a lot of you out there must think I absolutely adore my chihuahua a lot more than my kid, because you’ll find dog pictures everywhere but a very sparse number of photos of anything else.

I realized in the not-so-distant past that for the sake of my son’s safety, I had way too much TMI about him online.  Such a sad reality, isn’t it?  The fact of which, until I was offered the opportunity to review Kinzin for the Parent Bloggers Network, didn’t make me a very happy momma.

Now?  I’m totally in love with Kinzin - a secure mini blog for your child that includes all the bells and whistles that would make any Mommy blogger weep with joy!

Kinzin helps close friends and families create virtual private social networks for connecting, communicating, and sharing. It is an online gathering place for families that is safe and secure.

I can freely share stories, pictures, and information about ATK on Kinzin and know exactly who is reading (because I can keep tight control over who has access to his page via the ‘by  invitation only’ feature.)  I can keep friends and family up to date with photos and status updates. I can even post of list of ATK’s “wants” and “likes” so those who visit his Kinzin page will get to know him a little better!

In addition to all the Kinzin-specific features, the site also interfaces with Flickr and Facebook for even more opportunities to share your child’s life with those you trust.

The Kinzin interface for uploading, changing, naming and describing photos is so easy even the least ‘net savvy among us could do it with a quick click of the mouse.  Bonus!

I think my very favorite part of Kinzin is that they offer “Print Packs” of 10 photos per pack that can be automatically sent in the mail to each family member/friend you’ve invited to view your child’s page.  The Kinzin site is free, and the printed photo packs cost only $2.99 per pack to send - you just can’t get a better deal… especially for grandmas, etc. who always love receiving new photos of your little bug.

Kinzin is a remarkable and unique service that earns major kudos with this Mommy Blogger for security, ease of use/access, features and fun.  Kinzin - you get a gold star!

Secret Attached Baby - Not so Secret Anymore

I have the handy little Windows Vista side-bar thingy on my computer’s desktop and one of my Gadgets is the feed to the CNN top stories.

I’m thinking I might remove it.

For more than two days I stared at the headline “Girl carries secret baby to hospital, still attached” with an emotion that can only be described as

“beyond angry and ready to reach through the internet and strangle someone”
