Uniting Moms that Twitter

One of the biggest critiques that has come against Twitter aside form scaling issues, has been it’s lack of grouping and/or allowing for Twitter contacts to be grouped. This has been one failure of Twitter to better help users organize their contacts, or speak directly to a group of contacts without messaging their entire follower list.

As a result, various small groups have popped up to fill the need, but all of them based on other social networks. TwitterMoms is no different, except TwitterMoms has grown exponentially with the number of registered users in the group. TwitterMoms establishes an online gathering place for moms who are informed, educated, and look to have a place for their voice to be heard. The market for female bloggers and micro-bloggers has seen a significant boost in the last year, and withTwitterMoms, this is just another example of users looking to define their own space, even if the social network does not do it for them.

TwitterMoms is not a Twitter clone, but rather a forum where twittering moms can gather and share their thoughts, have their replies tracked and added on to by other users. There is a timeline service that allows users to see when comments were made in the conversation and reply to them accordingly. There are individual topics that you would expect to find in a forum, and so every user is able to join a conversation or start one themselves. An amazing idea for those looking to connect with others like minded mom that communicate through Twitter.

If you’re a mom looking at connecting, definitely check out TwitterMoms! If you’re already a member, leave a comment and let us know what you think, I’d love to hear what a user thinks about this amazing group.
