A Facebook for your foetus

accreditation
The youngest ever Facebook user is a foetus, reports Gawker.com. This couple have made a Facebook profile for their soon-to-be born daughter, Marriah Greene. "Who do you tell first or how do you tell somebody?" says mom, Ellie Green. So her husband Matt decided to make a Facebook profile for the unborn tot and send out friend requests to close family and friends, letting everyone know almost instantly.

They weren't sure how people would respond to it and at first just posted updates about the pregnancy to keep everyone updated. "It's been interesting watching people directly talk to her," says Ellie. They wanted to keep the page going so that one day they will be able to show her how people responded to her and how many people where excited for her arrival.

Would you create an online "baby book" for your unborn child?
