A new parent social networking website, MomsCrowd, announces its launch. Originally conceived as an online search tool for moms newly moved to an area, momscrowd has transformed into a comprehensive tool for mothers to connect and resource with video-messaging, polls, forums, chats, clubs, events, print coupons and recipes, photo- and video-sharing, and exclusive articles.

So often in contemporary life, moms find that most of their spare time is taken up with the care of the family. With MomsCrowd, services like free video chat rooms and other tools let parents get the support and connecting they need. Instead of going it alone, struggling with the difficulties of handling work and home life or trying to find help with discipline issues, health problems, or nutrition questions, mothers can create blogs, collaborate in forums, and build networks for sharing motherly wisdom.

This new parent social networking tool, in addition to helping moms build a network of support, also optimizes other efforts that can be otherwise daunting when mothers little helper requires a great deal of attention. For example, members can find jobs, buy and sell items, and accomplish tasks with “the force of many” collaborating and communicating easily online. With access to free video chat rooms and the unique grouping of “crowds” able to interconnect into larger online communities, lives can be enriched and new friends can be made.

Co-founder Stephen Gilbertson describes how “this service originally started out as a place for moms to go if they where moving to a new area: they were able to search the area for other families.” He says, “You can still do this, but also so much more.”

Members can start blogs, post and manage family events, create clubs and manage memberships, and all can be done with complete control of privacy. It’s a secure way of building the safety net that can be essential to an enriching and enjoyable family life.
