2011 ForbesWoman Top 100 Websites For Women
I am not only fascinated by Forbes lists but I enjoy reading the Forbes website. Last year it was a wonderful surprise to be on the 2010 Top 100 Websites for Women. Today I got another thrilling surprise – TechMamas.com is included in the Forbes Woman 2011 Top 100 Websites for Women.
Had a blog which was pretty cool and changed to website in January of this year. Didn’t have a lot of time to review but an article on extending battery life did catch my eye.
Microsoft has even gotten into the act:
Got carried away, even found a site written by a psychologist where she is featuring a MONTH OF MOMS, actually having guest bloggers who are moms for one month.
Here is what she says about herself and the blog is called simply, Dr Stepanie, as a marketeteer I really like this one.
http://www.drstephaniesmith.com/?tag=technology-and-moms In her own words:
“Welcome to Dr. Stephanie - Life through the eyes of a psychologist. I am a clinical psychologist in suburban Denver, Colorado and work with adults, teens, and tweens. I am also a regular gal who enjoys family, friends, and having fun - just like everyone else. In this blog I write about technology, parenting, friendship, and pop culture - all with a mental health twist. Thanks for stopping by.”
Moms Adopt More Mobile Technology
“Use of mobile technology by moms has increased substantially in the past year in all categories of use.
More than 90 percent of moms surveyed use a mobile device, up 10 percent from 2010. And 44 percent of moms surveyed are using smart phones. Moms are using their mobile devices increasingly as a means of communication with family members. Moms are texting with their spouses 17 percent more than they were a year earlier.”From TheWellConnectedMom.com
