Social Media for Mothers Seminar

This is a neat idea I wish I’d thought of myself. An Ottawa company is offering Social Media for Mothers seminars, just in time for Mother’s Day.

From the press release:

This unique seminar will show moms how to use social tools like blogs, Twitter, social networks, YouTube and Flickr to share their experiences online with family and/or other moms on the web. Moms will also learn how social media can help to nurture existing relationships and build new friendships in a global web community.

This seminar is for:

* mothers-to-be
* new and seasoned moms
* grandmothers
* great-grandmothers

Neat idea, eh? And if you go, you get to see me — on YouTube, blathering on about social media and motherhood. Natasha, the brains behind the operation, approached me a month or so ago and asked if I’d be interested in being interviewed for her seminar and being the shy and reticent person camera whore that I am, of course I said yes. You can see the clip on the social media press release. It`s a little drawn out, but she didn`t give me the cut sign so I just kept talking and talking and talking and talking. (There`s another familiar face there, too!)

Good luck, Natasha! Can’t wait to hear how it goes!
