Did Mom invent social media? Some say she did. And there is no arguing that she is driving it and helping it to evolve. There are 82 million moms across the U.S. of all ages. That’s right, 82 million. And 26 million of them are mommy bloggers. And they are grassroots, Oprah-like brand advocates with loyal followers who can change the trajectory of a brand and its products.

  • iPad 32GB
  • MacBook Pro 17″
  • MacBook 13″
  • iMac (original Blueberry)
  • PowerBook G4 15″
  • iPhone 2G
  • iPhone 3G
  • iPod Touch
  • iPod (original)
  • Shuffle (original)

I’m a long-time subscriber to The Week, which aggregates news stories from dozens of sources, offering both print and online editions. Their staff brilliantly summarizes news events and topics from all sides into short, blog-like articles.

It’s a blessing when there just isn’t enough time in the day to get the entire picture of current events, which is why I always appreciate their coverage of complicated (i.e., wtf) events like the Google and China fiasco.

Check out their Opinion Brief, Best Cartoon, Best Video (see below), a Timeline of Google in China, the latest and best tweets, The Bullpen, and Flashback.

I was wondering what was going on. Strange photo comments, invites to “free movie download” groups from friends I never talk to, etc. And I thought the Twitter phishing scams were annoying…ugh.
