How Moms Feel About Social Media
Mothers have dramatically increased their use of social networking tools in the past three years, according to a new survey of 25,000 women conducted by parenting site BabyCenter.
About 63 percent of moms used Facebook, Twitter and blogs this year, a whopping increase from 11 percent in 2006. The survey also found that the kinds of media moms spent time using changed after giving birth. Post-birth, nearly a third (32 percent) of respondents said they used the Internet more, while their use of other media formats decreased. For example, 44 percent said they regularly gave TV the sole focus of their attention prior to giving birth, which plummeted to 7 percent after giving birth.
