Social networking site for babies
As a child, social networking involved a red kickball. All it took was the sight of the ball being launched in the air by a neighboring kid's foot to get me outdoors and socializing.
How pedestrian. 
These days kids socialize by logining on to a MySpace, or Facebook or uploading a video of said selves to YouTube.
And in this new social structure enters TotSpot, a place for pre-school kids to swap virtually boogers.
Does your wee one use TotSpot? Lifestyle reporter Liz Doup would like to hear from you. Send her a note at ldoup@sun-sentinel.com.
Or perhaps you frequent the site, famzam that is geared more to families wanting to share photos, videos, recipes, etc. Either way, Liz would love to talk with you.

Comments
I have not frequented the two sites you mentioned before reading your post, but I'm not why you see this as "toddler socializing" when clearly these are parent social networks. Kids are still outside socializing, blissfully unaware of of said sites.
Hardly anything new, I've been a regular on a message board on I-Village for almost 4 years dedicated to kids born the same month/year as my daughter, sharing the same information you outline above as well as advice and personal stories. It has been a lifesaver more than once.
