BlogHer'12 in NYC!

WellConnectedMom and Kazaana in NYC!

. Bloggers, Events . , , , ,
We had the pleasure of sponsoring Lori Cunningham, WellConnectedMom and nationally respected mom blogger, for BlogHer12.  We couldn’t have been more pleased with the outcome and wanted to personally thank Lori for her commitment to Kazaana’s launch and further introducing our platform to the over 5,000 mom and dad bloggers attending the conference.  From what we’ve heard, it was certainly the place to be in NYC for mixing, mingling and chatting about all topics important to making an impact in the blogosphere for parents and families. In fact, bloggers have such an impact in relating to America’s families that President Obama himself opened the BlogHer conference as a keynote speaker, via a live feed!

Today we are excitied to annouce that Kazaana is featured in a great piece by Cecilia Kang from  the Washington Post about the unique challenges that having a younger user base presents to social platforms. Safety has always been our first priority at Kazaana- after all, families can’t feel comfortable sharing together online unless they know that the site is a safe space. But secondly, we want to create an experience for kids that is fun, interactive, and always genuine.

“These are users who aren’t locked into anything right now that is safe,” said Pete Thomas, a partner at Silicon Valley-based ATA Ventures, which funded Kazaana.
