One of the largest international mommy networks is CafeMom. Remember Andrew Shue from Melrose Place? (I know I am not the only one who is anxiously awaiting the reprise of that fantastic show!)

Get advice and support from moms. Share your thoughts, photos and more. Go to CafeMom

Instant Messaging

Anyone who spends a decent amount of time in front of a computer all day knows how convenient instant messaging can be to stay connected.

Meebo
My husband is a big fan of Meebo and I bet you will be too. You can connect all of your IM accounts in one place. (It’s always good to support tech companies started by women too!)
