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.

Nice design!
I am inching close to the same alexa rank as you. Could you tell me, or write a post on how to go about getting the sponsors who are willing to pay for the 125X125 style boxes on the right.
Thanks!
@twittermoms is great for all the Moms around but when you are a Dads there is very little room for us in these female dominated group. When it is a matter of parenting Dads and Moms have a different dynamics, they complement each other, we play / interact differently with our kids.
To conclude we needed something for the guys !
now we have a twitter *group alias* for the Dads : @twitterdads we don’t have the same growth than the Moms, (32 members and 78 followers) maybe we are a much more disperse “clique”, and simply don’t feel the vital need to belong to an online group…
Nevertheless I hope we can start a fruitful collaboration between the Dads on the Moms model
Happy twitting to you all !

Thanks for the commentary. I’ve been wondering when the dads of the tech community were going to speak up. I don’t want to take anything away from the jobs and duties that mom’s do so well, but I feel like dad’s are often forgotten in the process. Not just married dads, but single dads who do the double duty job just as well as a woman can.
Thanks for your thoughts and I’ll be sure to promote your site along with a post on Crenk right now. Thanks for speaking out for us men and I look forward to seeing your group grow.
