Forget The Video CameraTwitter Child's Birth
In what may be the ultimate use of social media, Adam Audette - or just audette on Twitter - is twittering the birth of his child. Live from the hospital are messages on the stages of the process.
We are being brought along for the ride as it starts:
It's on! Heading to the hospital w/ an extra car seat in the back. I'll update when we're checked in
http://twitpic.com/14vs <- Our room at the birthing centerWE EVEN GET PICTURES
http://twitpic.com/14vw <- Sally feeling good!
Sally is 6 centimeters dilated. Hooked to pitocin and ramping up
Now we are getting details! It is great reading... stream of consciousness texting - almost like a James Joyce novel. One wonders how some of our experimental writers would have delivered their art with all the media available today to use.
Adam and Sally I wish you all the best and guess I will be following this one - even on my phone while I am at dinner later - to its happy conclusion.
PS: My vote is for Sophia.
