Another well-known community is the discussion forum associated with
Mothering magazine:
http://www.mothering.com/discussions/

Facebook is extremely popular among many mothers I know online, as well.
(Which should come as no surprise.)  LiveJournal used to have some very busy
parenting forums several years ago; it's probably declined since then,
relative to Facebook and other networking sites. And while email might be
seen as old-fashioned by some, it seems to be heavily used for small or
localized networks of like-minded mothers.  This is anecdotal, so discount
as needed.

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Where do Gen Y Mom's go online?

[Gretchen Anderson]

I'm technically a Gen X mom, but I'm no dinosaur. ;) Sites I've gotten a
lot out of include:

Babycenter.com
Askdrsears.com
Wholesomebabyfood.com
Berkeley parent's network (an email list for the Bay Area, but common
topics get archived online)
Kellymom.com

Email lists are an awesome resource for quick answers, some are big
(like BPN) and some are more local (a group of moms might make their
own)
I have also found that social networking tools are a great resource. If
I ask a question or Twitter about an issue, generally a few moms in my
network will offer support, advice and help.
In general, my anecdotal experience is that the internet is my first
place to look for info, especially around something acute/immediate.

Does anyone have any research or background in Gen Y Mom's, and where
they
are going online?  Or any type of online behavioral background?  Would
love
to get any info, have a crazy deadline!

I'm not sure what this is like, but Avenue A Razorfish has a special  
report called "Digital Mom" that may help.

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Where do Gen Y Mom's go online?

[Christine Boese]

You might check out this link:

http://digitalmom.razorfish.com/publication/?m=4248&l=1

here's some info about it:

Razorfish  just released the results of a study
done in partnership with Cafe Mom that examined how Mom's live in a digital
world. Digital Mom  consists of two
companion studies. The first study, conducted by Razorfish focuses on how
digital moms are adopting social and emerging technologies. The second
study, prepared by CafeMom--the largest social networking site for moms--
concentrates on the role that social media play in helping to inform
purchase decisions, among other key trends.
1,500 "digital moms"--defined as women with at least one child under 18 in
the home who have engaged with two or more emerging technologies and who
have researched, sought advice or purchased a product online in the last
three months. Results confirm digital moms have moved beyond email and
search, and are now active users of Web 2.0 technologies. The majority of
moms are using social networks (65%) and text messaging (56%). More than
half of these moms are also gamers, with 52% of them playing games online or
via a console.

etc...
