Hi-Noon: Welcoming Baby Via Facebook

Kerri Thoreson , via Facebook (last night): After a couple of years on FB, this is the most incredible night. My niece is doing a play by play of her sister’s labor and impending delivery in a Utah hosptial. The baby will be my sister Lynne’s first grandchild and my other two sisters and I are following the progress on FB. Real life, real time. (Update: Great nephew made his arrival, in his own good time. His mommy is doing well and his great aunties are all pooped from the late night, early morning excitment.)

Question: How has cyberspace and the evolving social network enabled you to take part in far-off family events that you never dreamed possible a decade ago?
