Hi Beth---love this idea and I think it's an idea that needs to get additional light shined on it. Thanks for bringing it up because-----not all moms are alike.

As a Mom that buys gadget multiples (because our seem to get broken) and uses social networking for much of what I can't get in person due to time constraints of general life - would love to see this panel. And Charlene Li adds a lot of allure to this too. Hope it gets selected.

When a woman becomes a mother, it is some time not working and is at home with the child. She has more time for visiting the online forums, create their blogs, etc. Also, women have the opportunity to explore the market, trends of consumer demand.
