.Are "Brag Books" still used?

It seems that the physical brag book has been replaced by FB and Twitter.

I never heard of a brag book. That's a new one on me. I have seen people drag pictures of the grandchildren out of their wallets. We shared a table with another couple at a restaurant once. The guy got out a bunch of pictures of some terrible wreck they were in. All through dinner, we had to look at pictures of ambulances, tow truck, firetrucks, gurneys, splatters of blood, mangled cars and grievous injuries. I felt sorry for them, but that is not really what I wanted to see at dinner. We don't share tables anymore.

I have some in a box in the closet. Pictures of the kids and me being silly mostly.

Unfortunately this is a practice that is still very popular and the social media help the braggers to expand their audience.

I haven't carried pictures of my family around for a long time. They take up so much room in a wallet. Today, I see people showing pictures on their phones. I just have a simple mobile phone, so don't have pictures on it.

If i had a brag book, it will be empty lol. Never heard of brag book.Maybe i should start my *failure book*

I would certainly never be guilty of such things because I have nothing to brag about.

That's so funny because I came across the brag book from when I was a baby, just the other day. Someone got my mom a little brag book to put pictures of my sister and me inside. It has to be 30 years old. It was cool to go through it and see pictures I hadn't seen in ages.

I think it has been overtaken by the boast post now. This is the annual email sent at Christmas for the same purpose.

I had a Brag Book when I was a kid. It was something that my aunt gave me to hold pictures that we took on a trip to the zoo... I think maybe the Reid Park Zoo? It was when I was like 4 or 5, so I don't really remember much about the trip itself, but I remember the pictures of the anteaters that were in the book. Aside from the one I had, and my aunt's, I'd never heard of anyone using them. I saw a few on sale at Walgreens recently, which was amusing since I tend to think of them as something rather 'dated.' (The ones I'm familiar with were made in the 80's.) These days, it seems like there's really no need for that sort of thing. A phone can hold a lot more photos than a small Brag Book would, and it's something most people carry with them wherever they go. Between that and social media accounts, there's pretty much an infinite amount of bragging material to be had for grandparents and anyone else who wants to indulge in the habit.

I think many grandparents use their smartphone as their bragbook these days. Wee pass our phones around to our friends. Or they use Facebook!!

With digital cameras, they have become digital brag books. I have had people say to me, look at this picture I took of my kid or my dog etc. and they will take their digital camera out of their bag and show me. The pictures have not been deleted. They just sit there for the person to share when they want.

I think many simply share things on Facebook. I tend to take photos I think are cool, like the ones I share on here, but not really to brag.

My Mum had a brag book with photos of the grandkids in it. I don't recall her ever bringing it out to show people. She never took it with her anywhere.

I would think that most people just whip out their phones to show pictures of kids, grandkids, etc. I doubt many people carry around that old "brag" book anymore.

I believe that the "Brag Book" is now what everyone else affectionately likes to call "Facebook."
