How do you feel about babies and pets having their own social media accounts? Personally it makes me want to set myself on fire. [19]

    Don't set yourself on fire...set the owners/parents on fire.

    I guess I won't invite you to be friends with Mister Kitty Meowserkins on Catbook then. Your loss!

    Horribly annoying, but I'd rather someone set up a social media account for their dog than constantly refer to it as her/his child and whatnot.

    My baby has his own FB acct. I opposed to it at first. I thought he was too young, but he really wanted to be included in his siblings' activities.

    - Little kid hardly enters it and I take care of it to approve who he can befriend and who gets the boot. They are mostly family members or my eldest son's friends.
    As you can see I take care of my hubby's acct. too :)
    I believe that as parents we need to give them a little wiggle room but inform them that you will be taking care of their account as well.
    I love your kitty by the way ;)

    *FYI- My son not born in 1905..lol
    That was the only way to open his acct. :P

    I agree. That and babies. Social media accounts are for people to socialize. Not for fake acounts set up for animals and babies. That's annoying.

    While I know your being facetious about setting yourself on fire, do you actually deal with stuff like that very often? I've seen these social media accounts when people are making jokes on Lamebook, and I've seen ONE account on Formspring as a cat, and yes, it's clear that it's not peoples pets or infants who have these accounts. I've never dealt with it before, and the cat profile wasn't that funny (standard Formspring answers being short and sarcastic, nothing clever at all), nor did it ever ask me any questions.

    An account as an animal has the potential for humour, and I'm sure the infant account could give people some information, though logging in and logging out would seem to be a hassle when someone could just give updates on their kids on their own, which is what my sister does.

    Making accounts for your pets is probably going a bit too far unless ones able to make clever jokes with it. Beyond that, I don't really see much use.

    My dog has a facebook since a) enough friends said MAKE HER ONE! b) she thinks she's human and not a dog, and c) she's derpy and adorable. But the account isn't used a ton.

    I bet you'd regret setting yourself on fire straight away, it'd hurt and man it would not be pleasant.

    "..The chief of Facebook himself Mark Zuckerberg has a pet dog named Beast who enjoys a significant following on the web.." Need more? ;P

    Frankly, I'm on the fence about *humans* and their social media accounts. So yeah...room for one more in the fire?

    .....(my cat has a facebook)

    Although, I party use it to organize my uploaded pictures into one place, so I can flick through JUST those tagged of him.

    He also plays Castleville.

    Because, you know....

    He would...

    Oh my gosh. Yes. I fucking tell people this all the time. A girl I knew created a Facebook account for her dog, and then she—oh, sorry..."her dog"—added me. So I wrote on the wall for the page: "I'm not quite sure whether I'm supposed to think this is cute or if you're just really mentally unstable." Though she didn't quite pick up on the sarcasm, because she just commented: "lol you know me cassy!!! i'm weird and crazy like that :P"

    It's ridick. It too makes me want to set myself on fire. Total waste.

  18. Sanders

    If the baby and/or pet can actually type, setup an account, come up with a password and actually interact on the account, I have absolutely no problem with it. In fact, I'm looking forward to a battle of wits with a friggin cat.

    if they can set it up themselves, sure, if not, NO WAY

    that cat looks like it can set one up though
