Bricks & Clicks
The Rockford Register Star is more than a newspaper: the ink on print or the “bricks” in the News Tower. We’re a multimedia news and information company: the “clicks” on our Web site and the TV clips on WREX-13. This blog explains our fast-changing media environment and interacts with our readers to show how and why we do what we do.

Welcome to 2009. Your mom’s on Facebook

Add comment January 7th, 2009

I can’t find where I read it, but one of the top trends in 2009 is supposed to be that “your parents will be on Facebook.”

Or maybe even Grandpa!

This creeps out teenagers and young adults to no end. If I were young, I would freak, too.

My mom’s not on Facebook, but she does use our own private family social networking site from Ning, which is pretty sweet; I built it last year. And my 6-year-old knows what FB looks like. She called me out when it was on my phone the other day. Good reminder to put the darn thing down.
