Understanding Mom Bloggers

Using the brand, sparkly new Technorati, I came across a great post about the mom blogger “revolution” - essentially, the growth of mothers starting and creating blogs. For anyone who has done random surfing on the blogosphere, its not a new thing, but there’s a lot going on with mom bloggers right now - particularly on the heels of the BlogHer convention - as well as a number of other great directories and the growing lists of top “Mom bloggers” (including a few of my favorites, like Busymom, SVMoms and many more).

Hitwise on Digg vs. NYT

LeeAnn Prescott over at Hitwise takes an interesting look at stats that give a “reality check” to recent speculation that Digg’s traffic and new content areas could make it as big as the NYTimes. I like her approach, which doesn’t just look at traffic or pageviews, but also demographics (for instance, the fact that “6% of Digg’s users were in the 18-24 age bracket, while only 9.5% of NY Times users were in that age group“), and where their traffic comes from.

Don’t get me wrong, I love Digg and think they have a great thing going, but I do think we’re looking at two different sets of users, vs. news consumers (and trackers) as a whole.

Bridal Mags Take on The Knot

Bridal magazines unite to create “powerhouse” wedding site with the intention to attract both advertisers and readers.  An industry expanding move, seeing as The Knot has been the “go to” site online  for brides to be until now, with a few smaller sites like Indie Bride bringing up the rear. Surprising that someone is taking on The Knot now vs. a few years ago.
