New kid on the block (no pun intended)….Quippsy is a budding social network for parents to remember and share all the “cute, smart, and funny” things their kids say. I’m self-promoting here but I think it’s relevant!

@Svea – agreed, moms are a huge demographic, but they’re also the hardest to approach. You have to have a really good social strategy to build a community in this niche, as the internet is already flooded with great blogs, sites and communities!

This is really interesting. Families and especially moms are a huge internet group that you with the right material can create a great win-win situation.

Parents love to talk about their children, share experience, so why not connect those people?

@Sven – thanks for sharing, social media has definitely brought communities together – built not from geographical happenstance, but from personal interests.

I see the same trend in Sweden. Many social sites for families showing up and the demand seems very big. The sites often have lots of activity.

I think it is good for parents because they can share experience. If your baby/child having some sort of problem health or mentally maybe there is some one other family on the social site which have had the same problem and can point you in the right direction.

Most of the Social Networking Sites contributes great help to a family or friends that misses their love ones. Social networking sites helps me stay in touch with my family abroad and I’m thankful for that.
