I came across this great blog this morning on Darren Rowse's Problogger.net. Actually Darren didn't write it. It was written by a guest writer on his site - Michelle Mitchell from Scribbit. Its captivating title was what caught my eye - "Five Reasons Why Mom Blogs Are The Blogs To Watch". Apparently on April 10, the prestigious Wall Street Journal interviewed Heather Armstrong, a mom blogger known to millions throughout the US as Dooce. The interview was widely reported in the print media around the country.
Michelle's Five Reasons to Watch Mom blogs are:
1. Moms can blog at home.
2. Moms need the sociality of the net.
3. Moms have a wealth of material to use.
4. Moms are record keepers.
5. Mom blogs wield economic power.
I recommend you go and read the full article at Problogger.net.

21 May 2008 - 1:29pm Anne, mothers are a force to be reckoned with and they are often underestimated. Of course, these women are also technologically very savvy so they know how to use the technology to get their message across. I'm not at all suprised at the impact Heather Armstrong has had.
