Pros: Forget the NCAA bracket pool, there is a new game in town and it’s all about babies. Expectnet.com allows the friends and families of expectant parents to put their mark on when they think the baby will arrive, how much it will weigh and how long the little guy or girl will be.
The cool thing about the site is that parents can register online and invite friends and family, near and far, to sign up, too. The page has a space for the player’s name, a guess on gender, weight, length and date and time of birth, as well as where they are from and how they are related to the baby. The pools are private so mom and dad choose who gets to enter a guess.
The site also has a list of parent resources and allows moms and dads to add links to online gift registries or to include information about a baby shower.
Cons: Users do have to register to enter the pool, and to use the full version of the game, users have to purchase it for $19.95 through paypal. The paid version doesn’t have any ads and it allows users to create polls and post private messages, but the free version offers the basic pool.
The pool winner is calculated automatically, and the way it is calculated is explained online, but the site owners don’t offer a prize for the winner. The text on the site says the prize is pride.
