Get It®, a leading operator of niche classified and career websites, today announced that is has acquired Mamapedia.com, a leading portal and online community for mothers.
There are few things more frantic than a mother with a sick kid, and finding a doctor who meets her standards is never easy. Fortunately, Mamapedia.com, an information Web site for all things mommy, has compiled a list of the most popular pediatricians in the Valley.
A cross between Google and Wikipedia for parents, Mamapedia just makes sense. And so did its CEO, Artie Wu, when I asked him how he came to create the two-month-old site.
Check out Mamapedia, where moms can go to look up advice from other moms on the various aspects of raising kids.
I'll confess that I don't really have the time or the patience for most community bulletin boards and the drama that sometimes seems to come with them. But the concept has always appealed to me -- a quick way to pose a question to the masses and get feedback.
One thing Artie Wu knows for sure is that mama knows best. He also knows the collective wisdom of thousands of moms makes for a powerful database that serves millions of moms (and dads, too) at Mamapedia. "Moms can get there and search for any issue or ask any question and get answers from tens of thousands of other moms," Wu said. "They can learn what they did, what worked for them and what didn't work."
School is out, and millions of moms around the country are gearing up for summer! At Mamapedia we are seeing hundreds of thousands of moms sharing advice and wisdom around their best strategies for summer -- last-minute summer camp planning, family travel strategies, and doing everything possible to keep the kids active and away from the TV/computer.
We offer a lot of great advice on Parenting.com, but we know that the best stuff comes from the pros -- you. That's what makes mamapedia.com so brilliant.
New site offers more than a million answers from moms who’ve been there, done that. Recent searches include everything from “Should I let my daughter quit soccer?” to “Stopping breastfeeding. Help!”
Cool factor: The site, which was started by a San Francisco father, offers age-specific answers on a variety of children issues, from potty-training toddlers to connecting to distant teenagers. Www.mamapedia.com also gives personal answers for women on everything from career decisions and health and fitness to finances and makeup advice.
