Baby birth announcements in this techie age

Having lots of mommy friends, I have grown accustomed to receiving baby birth announcements. However, I noticed that baby birth announcements have also become more high-tech and innovative.

Gone are the days when fathers give out macanudo cigars to male friends to announce the coming of a son. In this techie world, announcing it over the world wide web is just as good.

Here are some of the trends I noticed among my mommy and daddy friends:

• Announcing through a Facebook post or a tweet
• Posting newborn photos in social networks
• Creating a digscrap page of the new baby indicating the name, date, and time of birth
• Posting a video or slide show of the baby's first photos on Youtube

Personally, I prefer these online birth announcements. They are less expensive yet, they are more convenient since almost everyone is on Facebook or Twitter.

What do you think? Have you received a unique online birth announcement from a friend or relative? I'd love to read about it!
