 These women are also highly coveted by businesses because of their influence, but they are often misunderstood for the reasons that they blog and the connections that they create. This site is here to bring additional awareness to the many moms who are blogging and the topics they write about. It brings together excerpts (only) of various stories written by moms who are blogging. MomsWhoBlog.com strives to be your ultimate source of news and knowledge on mothers active in social media. Moms are telling their stories, and these stories are about more than just parenting and babies. These women are diverse, unique and interesting. Their life stories are entertaining, emotional and engaging (and occasionally peppered with humor, edginess and sarcasm!). In turn, readers gravitate to their unabashed social media conversations and become fiercely loyal, participative and responsive. http://www.momswhoblog.com/

 peerbackers is a new way to fund entrepreneurs. It is an online funding platform that allows business owners to raise capital from their "peers" -- in small increments -- in exchange for tangible rewards to those who contribute. It was founded by Sally Miller Outlaw and Andrew Rachmell of Palm Beach County, Florida.
We are tackling the #1 pain point for millions of entrepreneurs -- raising the capital they need to start or grow their business. Good business ideas don't always attract the cash they need from traditional financing sources. Consequently, peerbackers offers another approach based on crowd participation.
