I’m not a mum but I subscribe to Netmums to observe what makes Netmums so special. Out of just pure curiosity and admiration for the creators, I guess… I love what they’ve done and wish to see more networks such as this. Maybe a NetDads?

I want to know what they’re doing right. So I get weekly updates sent to my mailbox and I usually have a glance to see what they’re up to. However this weeks email had a cool announcement that I thought was worth sharing. Have a look what’s going on on Netmums…

Now that’s what I call.. leading by example.. So what’s stopping other leaders to get onto Netmums? Or are they???

Here how it looks like on the website

If you can’t see it, it says

In April there is a summit in London for all the world leaders to talk about the global economic crisis. Netmums have been invited to put our questions to the Prime Minister, Gordon Brown. Post your thoughts or questions for Gordon here.

Great way of connecting with a vibrant community online. Netmums are a great place for local government to get involved because they are in fact LOCAL! So why don’t local councils take advantage of this?
