Your kids and the Social Media Revolution

Your kids and the Social Media Revolution
You might hate Facebook just as much as this guy - but as a parent, ponder these stats for a minute: 
• 96% of Generation Y (18 - 29 year-olds) has joined social networking.
• If Facebook members were a country, it would be the world's 4th largest behind China, India, and United States.
• Celebrities on Twitter have more followers than the population of Norway, Ireland and Panama.
• On YouTube, 13 hours of content are uploaded every minute.
Like it or not, we are raising children in a wired generation.  As fathers, we must have a consistent strategy on what technology our kids are exposed and under what parameters.  Here are  10 Facebook rules to get you started. And also, be sure to Fan All Pro Dad and Tony Dungy on Facebook and follow All Pro Dad and Tony Dungy on Twitter.
Huddle up with your older kids tonight and ask:   What are the good things and the bad things about having a Facebook account?
