Site looks ok but I really prefer minti.com because it has so much more in the way of parenting advice and you are able to blog and communicate with other members. A great parenting community and it is easy to navigate around so mums of all ages can use it!

I agree with Busy Tech Mom and Knee Jerk Cynic Hater. This site is different because it has more useful features than others I’ve seen. Not one of my bazillion mom friends in the real world have ever heard of PageFlakes, but this is very accessible. If Nesting.com can get their calendar to sync with my iPhone, get the group functionality going, and add more “nests,” I’d be a happy mom and I’m sure my friends would be inclined to use the site as well.

Connie and any others who think going after the mom market is a waste of time should read “Trillion Dollar Moms” by Maria Bailey. We moms make the world go round. Get used to it.

Maya’s Mom was purchased some time ago by BabyCenter, which (last I saw) was owned by J&J. They’re a large mom’s site, though there are lots of others. Don’t know why Tech Crunch pegs competition to a company that’s wholly owned by another one in the same space. One word of caution; on the corporate site of one of the founders he quotes himself, which even by South CA standards is a little strange (dude: normally you make up the quotes and attribute them to others, like your marketing people have done above). Whatever … good luck, Nesting.

Good luck Nesting…

@fred, do you know any words other than shill?? haha you crack me up. and unless your parents are some mean ass social deviants who wanted to name their daughter fred, i find it hilarious how you comment on other people’s potentially honest feedback of the site when clearly you know nothing about the demographic or the site. utility focused vertical social networks are here to stay because they add value to the lives of people who engage with them. that being said, not all will be winners and it will be interesting to see where this goes.

Written like the head of the marketing department, even with road map like suggestions.

Will these shill ever learn?

Don’t pay attention to the shills.

It may be a good site, but shills turn me off.

Shill. Total Shill.

The site is for you, not your kids. The point is to help organize your hectic life and get the resources and info you need as busy mom.

Always amuses me when geeks dismiss tools that aren’t at all meant for geeks. It’s like dismissing the value of a tricycle because it can’t be used for the Tour de France. Guess what? Moms don’t need an ultralight carbon frame.

Why use this over PageFlakes? Because non-techie Moms don’t want to have to sort through millions of options to find the ones that are relevant to them.

And guess what? 90% of American moms have never heard of PageFlakes or even TechCrunch. Easily. And that 90% holds the majority of the household purchasing power in this country.

Geeks like reveling in all the options and flexibility. Parents are pressed for time and don’t want to have to learn about all the different places you can get an RSS feed or widget or gadget or whatever I haven’t yet learned about to cram on a page.

They just want you to help them find the information they need so they can continue with the busy pace of their lives. Which, by the way, occur mostly offline, unlike most TC commenters’, apparently.

When will the culture shift so developers are spending less time trying to impress their friends and more time trying to tap in to the vast potential of middle America?

Or are we just going to let Wal-Mart develop the interface?

When I scanned TC I read this as “Nesting: A PageFlakes For Noms” which I thought was clever until I realized I was an idiot.

Re: busy tech mom
I agree. Also, seems like a lot of the other sites are just a lot of advertising and tips- this is more for organization which is nice and actually useful.

Nails the demographic with style and ease of use. I can honestly say my wife and her friends know nothing about pageflakes; which makes this site all-new to them. The right alliances with media and brands will bring them clients for sure.

So my first impression was “great…another one.” I’ve been on all of the mom sites…mayasmom…cafemom…mothersclick. The reason none of them have hooked me is that I always felt a total disconnect with the fact that I have little time to waste and I already have “real” friends (and 3 kids).

Nesting.com clearly recognizes this and has taken a shot at giving moms something they can actually use. Would like to see some more the integration of my ical and an ap for my iphone but I think they’ve hit the mark. I know a lot of moms who can’t stand mom social networks that would actually use this.

Seems to me that they are copying the style of this site to a certain degree. A lot I should say. This is the site my wife has used since we got married, http://www.thenest.com/ , and before that she used http://wedding.theknot.com.

I think that techcrunch reviewed this property: http://www.thenestbaby.com/
