Web Sightings

Many of us have brothers and sisters who do more than drive us crazy by asking for money or monopolizing our mother's baby-sitting time. In some ways, they help define us. Here's a look at some more of the top sibling sites on the Web.

REUNITED SIBLINGS

Happy when you find your keys? How excited would you be to find a long-lost brother? Thanks to myspace, Jake and Josh Earl, a pair of brothers from Texas, were able to track down their sister, who was separated from their brothers when they were foster children.

CELEBRITY SIBLINGS

Some family pairings are rooted in pop stardom. Nevra Azerkan of popzineonline.com has written a humorous expose of the various celebrity siblings in Hollywood today - and how, or why, they managed to gain a foothold in their profession.

THE BRADY BUNCH

Thanks to Mother Television, most Americans over 30 hold one family paramount in their definition of brothers and sisters. And thanks to Internet geeks across the globe who continue to fill the Web with Brady stuff, we'll never forgot Mike and Carol's brood of six.

NEW SIBLING

Parents often hear horror stories about older brothers or sisters who refuse to welcome a new infant to the family. Although the affection of most children can be maintained with a juice box and little "Dora" time, moms and dads should at least be prepared for kids with potential hard feelings and understandable jealousy.

'LONELY BOY'

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lonely_Boy_(Andrew_Gold_song)

Maybe it's the memory of hearing the song on the jukebox at a dude ranch my parents dumped us off at, but Andrew Gold's "Lonely Boy" maybe the perfect song to sum up the feeling of being marginalized by a younger sibling. And by perfect song, I mean an overproduced schlocky 1970's tune about some whining little brat. Now, off to iTunes to buy it.
