Twitter: Just Make Sure You Spell Everything Wrong And Swear A Lot

Another winner from The Onion, which tells parents how to keep tabs on their kids via Facebook and Twitter: "Within minutes you can be writing on their wall. I write to my son Jeffrey about 5 or 6 times per day..It's a great way to remind him to take his psoriasis medication or just to remind him how much I love him." There are also useful tips on stalking your children using a fake Twitter account so they don't know who you are. "You can send them messages all day long and they won't know who you are. Just make sure you spell everything wrong and swear a lot." This isn't the home run that Google Privacy Opt Out and Macbook Wheel were, but it's a solid double. I love The Onion .
