Buy your Newborn a website. No, really.

By DavidReece • Nov 13th, 2007 • Category: News

Well this has to be among the wierdest startups I’ve ever come accross. DaddyIWantWebsite is a service that allows parents to buy a specially tailored website for their screaming brat (sorry, adorable kid).

Websites comes in 3 packages; Starter - for newborns (oh come on), Pro - for older kids, and Premium - for teenagers.

I don’t want to start off with a negative, but what the hell is a baby going to do with a website? And teens? Somehow I can’t see teenagers bragging to their friends about thier new… “DaddyIWantWebsite” website.

From the site..

No matter what the season or reason, children aren’t as easy to buy for as you may think. Children can actually be rather picky about the gifts they receive and vocal in their opinions - good or bad.
When you are buying a gift for your own child, you don’t want it to be something that will drive you crazy.

What’s wrong with a pokemon? Ok, on the plus side, this is a creative way to sell websites, and I’m sure it’ll succeed in generating buzz from bemused bloggers, but will it work? I’m leaning towards no.
