I’m telling you, my sleuthing skills as far as awesome twin-sites are concerned are turning pro before I even grow out of my minor league jersey!!

A few of the better twins related websites turn out to be landing pages for some unknown entity in Canada that is an auto-generated pay per clicks thing thing. Sometimes you can utilize those sites for some decent items to purchase, but I’m becoming a sponge, not a collector of all things useless.

I found out that I can find really good websites by just trying to .com them. That’s actually how I named my website, this site IS what I am: Having Twins Now.

So I used common sense, my keyboard and my internet connection to deduce a few sites to frequent. The latest in my quest for as much cool twin stuff as possible ended in me finding www.TwinStuff.com!

I joined their community and I’m enjoying the content, conversation and ease of navigation more than some of the other sites I have visited that try to pull off the forum thing thing.

Check out www.TwinStuff.com

As we continue on our road to new websites to visit when entertaining the thought or actually carrying the weight of having twins, let us explore some other sites together, shall we?

Our first website comes through maybe 7 clicks in from the Multiples Site at About.com – this one is called Mother of Twins.com.

Granted, I am male and do not particularly care for the fashion items on display, but I’m sure if I was hiding a 37lb frozen turkey under my mumu I’d want some clothes to sport around the doctor’s office too!

ZING!

The last site I found that peaked my interest was GREAT DAD. Something I’m trying to keep on top of every day is being a great dad, and DAMNIT why didn’t I think to use this site before my lil dude was born?

Go visit GreatDad.com and check out their amazing way of organizing worthwhile articles on the basis of where your wife is in the pregnancy as well as by the age of your children.

Two cool sites. One cool dude. (THAT’S ME!)

You have to admit, life is never as complicated as it would be without the internet.

Now that you know you can find pretty much ANYTHING related to ANYTHING within a few seconds, it’s difficult to imagine a life without senor google. The only real hangup is the amount of information thrown at you in 0.036 seconds from a simple google search.

You have to know how to use your own “crap filter” and use it quickly before you open up 17 new tabs in firefox or chrome and all of them are selling “preggie pops” and asking for your social security number to sign you up for FREE SCHTUFF!

Not that I haven’t done that already, but I’m getting better at focusing my searches on the content of sites that seem reputable and aren’t automated robot websites that just copy text and tags and arrange them into a non-sensical database of random words and keywords that bring it traffic to collect pennies per click on the google adsense on the page.

I know, that’s a great idea that you will one day use to make millions of pennies, but that’s not what this post is about.

I am going to give you a few great starting points for searching for information about having twins, besides my site of course! I have found these sites through hours and hours of dedicated “I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE HELL TO DO WITH MYSELF NOW THAT I KNOW I’M HAVING TWINS” searches.

The first site  is TWIN PREGNANCY AND BEYOND! @ http://www.twin-pregnancy-and-beyond.com/

I found this site and immediatly signed up as a member because the number one thing I’ve read about being a parent to twins is to ALWAYS pick the brains of people who have had twins. And what better way to find parents of twins than on a members only twins website?!

The other site that I’m passing on today is from About.com.

About is one of those sites that ALWAYS has information about stuff I need to know. For example, whenever I am stuck in a video game and can’t beat a certain level? ABOUT.com.

If they can help me out of a jam with explosive barrels of fuel and an undying helicopter with unlimited ammo, they can help direct me in learning about our twin pregnancy. Visit: http://multiples.about.com/
