ITV's This Morning programme have invited me and Justine on to talk about the Toddlers book and want to also invite a couple of Mumsnetters to talk about how they got into Mumsnet and what Mumsnet means to them etc.

The date will probably be 4th or 5th Feb, they will need us between 9.30 and 12 and are prepared to pay travel expenses.

Anyone out there interested in snuggling up on the sofa? If you are, please put a bit of blurb about yourself here - how many children you have/how old, how you got into Mumsnet and what it means to you etc - so This Morning can decide who they might fancy inviting. If you do volunteer we may have to pass your email details on to This Morning, in case they want to chat to you, so shout now if you'd rather we didn't do that.

Thanks,

MNHQ

You people are just poisonous to each other.

And if you don't know their MN names, why did Fio post this "and it is no accident that they are the most vocal on every single thread that anyone who is known to be a moldie is on. I think it is worth bearing in mind that some of your real names are searchable from those links and also your photographs and places of work" ???

Rhubarb · 03/02/2009 14:25

The DoM site has been discussed on Mumsnet before, it's no secret. But if your link does show peoples real names and photos then perhaps it's best not to link?

For instance, I'm a member of a couple of fb groups, but I wouldn't be too chuffed if another site not related to fb linked to that groups membership page.

Mine is completely private rhubs but I know a friend had pics of her daughter frollicking about naked and my cousin messaged me to say that even though the profile was private all my friends could see anything I commented on and then the direct link could be passed around. Not good.

MauriceDancer · 03/02/2009 14:24

you mean posie flump isn't your real name?

yes, posie... so given that there is no correlation between MN name and RL name, no one is any the wiser as to the membership of the DoM. so no need to panic.

posieflump · 03/02/2009 14:22

I wouldn't like my real name on here, that's why I use a nickname!

MauriceDancer · 03/02/2009 14:22

who started it? does anyone on this thread know?

Rhubarb · 03/02/2009 14:21

Did you know that people can view your photos and stuff on the fb default settings btw? I only found out when someone searching for me, found out it was me by trawling through my photos and recognising some of my family members!

I went into privacy settings and changed it, but it's a bit shocking to think that the default settings basically let anyone view your stuff.

Threadworm · 03/02/2009 14:21

WWW's link worked for me and I am not a member, so, no , it isn't closed. Besides it isn't really a group at all, just a silly joke afaik.

ladycornyofsilke · 03/02/2009 14:21

You need to get your post pulled westlife.

ladycornyofsilke · 03/02/2009 14:20

It is a closed group.

MauriceDancer · 03/02/2009 14:20

people's names and faces yes... but not their MN names. [over-reaction icon]

wickedwitchofwestlife · 03/02/2009 14:20

anyone on facebook can see it though? I dont see the problem. If its just for a laugh, then again, I dont see the problem. If you are on facebook and your ID is public, then you are opening yourself up to millions of facebook users. But im sure MNHQ will delete if they feel differently?

VictorianSqualor · 03/02/2009 14:19

Isn't DoM a closed group anyway?
So that would mean the poster is a member?

posieflump · 03/02/2009 14:19

crossed posts, fair enough

posieflump · 03/02/2009 14:18

erm creativezen -because if you didn't know there was such a group on facebook you woudn't be searching for it
and now people don't need to search for it they can just click your oh-so-easy-to-find link and hey presto, people's names and faces

CreativeZen · 03/02/2009 14:18

Sorry, I didn't realise there would be a problem in posting a link to a page on the web which is available for everyone to see anyway. I'll report my own post and ask for it to be deleted.

MauriceDancer · 03/02/2009 14:18

she didn't post anyone's name, she posted a link... plus those names (with from what i can see two exceptions) don't equate to MN names. what's the big deal?

MauriceDancer · 03/02/2009 14:17

that's the problem with FB, it's all searchable if the group isn't closed. i loathe FB for the most part.

Rhubarb · 03/02/2009 14:16

Uh-Oh, I'm keeping well out of this one. Posting peoples real names doesn't feel right at all. I'm sure there are lots of Mumsnet facebook groups but it doesn't mean to say you have to out all their members does it?

southeastastra · 03/02/2009 14:15

one of the facebookers appears to be a muppet!

CreativeZen · 03/02/2009 14:13

YOu can only see them if you have a facebook account and, if you have such an account, that information is out there for anyone to see. I haven't posted anything secret or with sensitive information in it that would not be accessible any other way.

MauriceDancer · 03/02/2009 14:13

i think i know who started it... i'm just keen to see if she's up for admitting it.

Rhubarb something's gone wonky with your computer, that's all. www's links were to the DoM site on facebook. are you at work, maybe, and FB is blocked or something?

posieflump · 03/02/2009 14:12

oh yes agree with Fio - those facebook links give names and faces, has anyone reported it?
