Seriously, people? Unbaby.me? You hate seeing baby pictures on Facebook so much that you have to use a Chrome extension to block them? Look, I get it. Parents and non-parents sort of can't stand each other. For god's sake, we can't even hang out at the same bar together without it turning into some kind of turf war. (Yeah, that's right: bar. Apparently, it's not totally irresponsible parenting to consume�alcohol�in front the kids. See also: my house, every Friday night). But even though Unbaby.me is only the latest development in the whole us vs. them saga of breeders vs. non-breeders, it actually speaks to a couple of long-standing issues surrounding social networking services: that A) you're either doing it wrong, or B) the social network itself has failed you in some way. In this case, I'm voting for A.
