A Minnesota couple found a novel way to share the birth of their daughter with friends, family, and the world -- they livestreamed the delivery over the Internet. Thousands of people watched the video on MomsLikeMe.com as the couple -- who gave their names only as Lynsee and Anders -- welcomed the arrival of their first child, a daughter named Solveig.

Way, way too much information: "Congrats, Solveig, you are the Miracle Baby of Generation TMI," says Azaria Jagger in Gawker. There is very little chance "the youngest oversharer in the history of the Internet" will ever live this down.
