With 850K Users In 2 Months, Circle Of Moms Comes Out Of Nowhere
- pg 18y agoI don't think I've ever heard of such growth. What new monster of virality did they cook up?

- pg 18y agoOh, is it 850k FB app users? I thought they meant actual users of their site.
- fallentimes 18y agoShould have clarified: according to them it's actual site users, but their FB apps are what drove the growth. I can't believe I'm writing this, but I tend to agree with the sentiment reflected in the TC comments: something isn't right. How can a site with so many users be dead everywhere else? http://www.quarkbase.com/show/circleofmoms.com http://www.quarkbase.com/show/circleofmoms.com
- colortone 18y agoIn my experience, the mom blogs are probably the most active (and interesting) part of the blogosphere. I think this whole gender is wildly underserved, but especially mothers with kids 18 and under...there's huge money to be made building services/communites around these specific needs. BlogHer, etc, is good but just the tip of the iceberg. http://broadstuff.com/archives/1330-En-gendering-the-next-great-Web-Retail-revolution.html http://broadstuff.com/archives/1330-En-gendering-the-next-gr... Another similar demo is teachers. Trying to "reinvent education" is great but the the meantime millions of teachers and millions more students are underserved and struggling.
