Why I attend Mom 2.0:

Here’s the most obvious secret of the dad blogosphere: Men’s clout in the online parenting space is negligible in comparison to women’s.

Men are way behind in the parent blogging space. Way behind. Just watching how women network and socialize in an entrepreneurial/business setting is education enough. Never mind their work for social good (1, 2, 3, 4). A lot to take in from a business perspective, parties or not.

The original Wall Street Journal article is here. This article would have been better if it was less about stay at home moms who blog and just how much money there is in the mom blogger sponsor space and how that has changed blogging as a business. I know, I’m being naive. It’s better for the Wall Street Journal to link bait and be condescending. And offensively ignorant in 2013.

Mom blogs have changed the business landscape for women. Where’s the reportage about that? I’m seriously asking.
