Momblogger Cybele Weisser wrote a article on On The Juggle, Wall Street Journal where she worried about the potential effects of all the public photos of her child that she and her husband posted on Flickr. I think this is a very valid concern, that many of the comments seem to agree with.

For us, the whole question of privacy was one of the main reasons why we founded Kidmondo. Our families live in different parts of the world and we were never really able to find a compelling way to securely share with them our kids stories/photos/etc. We also didn’t want to deal with sending people to different sites. We tried various solutions but in the end stuck with email…Care to guess what we use now?

I read a recent article by Judith Graham from Chicago Tribune entitled A puzzle over fewer boys. She points out that while historically there are more boys being born than girls, the gap is closing and no one is really sure why. I quote:

In the U.S., the ratio of baby boys to girls has been declining since 1970, translating into 17 fewer males for every 10,000 births, or an estimated 135,000 fewer boys born between 1970 and 2002, according to a study last year in Environmental Health Perspectives.

With Kidmondo a little over 1 month old, I thought I would be interesting to compare these results with the children on Kidmondo, the vast of which were born after 2000 (we do have a few exceptions). The results of which may surprise you.
As you can see from the chart below the boys still seem to have a significant statistical lead:

What does this mean? We are not sure, but it sure is interesting.
