Mobile etiquette: is that phrase rapidly becoming an oxymoron? Are the little devices we carry with us everywhere turning us into anti-social jerks? Or are they just amplifying the jerkiness that already existed in some users? We discuss this and much much more on our latest podcast!
Here are some links from this week’s podcast:
Three of the four Angels attended a mobile etiquette event hosted by Intel, during which mobile habits were discussed.
Did you know that you can set your child’s iPod so that it can’t go over a certain volume? Directions are here.
Very exciting: Nancy and Rebecca recently launched KidzVuz, a video review site for kids.
Angel Amy was included in a recent New York Times Magazine article by the fabulous Lisa Belkin, regarding her completely anal retentive disclosure policy.
And now for our Golden Halos:
Angel Rebecca gave horns to an article on BNet.com attacking mom bloggers, specifically mentioning “friend of the podcast” Momtrends. Go read Jennifer James’ response, but don’t give the original article any more traffic!
Angel Amy recently “ran” (jogged, walked and crawled) Disney’s Princess 1/2 Marathon, and was pissed off to read a babble article dissing the tiara and costume aspect of it.
Angel Nancy had a big horn for the government wanting to shut down Planned Parenthood. Boo!
So that’s it for this week! What do you think about giving your kids mobile devices to play with in restaurants? And why is it considered so much worse to sit on a bench in the playground with your BlackBerry than with a newspaper or book? Chime in on Facebook.
Please note: the Windows phones mentioned during the podcast were given to the Blogging Angels free of charge by Microsoft.
