Would it be a bad idea to come out on facebook, kill all the birds with one stone?

I think the people who are very close to you, such as your family, would want to know in person. Not everybody checks facebook regularly. I think I would be embarrassed if I were a mother, and I found out significant information about my child through an acquaintance, just because I forgot to check facebook that morning. The people who are very close to you want to know that they are a part of your life and that you share improtant things with them.

But for your larger social circle, I think facebook is fine.
