My favourite ladies at Mother-Talk recently put out a call for people to review Mamasource. It’s a networking site for mamas that’s unfortunately only for Americans but since I already offered to help out I just made up a zip code. Apparently I’m from Schenectady.

From the site:Mamasource is a safe and easy way to connect with other moms in your local area. Find the advice, referrals and insight you need, in a supportive community of moms helping moms.

As a Mamasource member, you can:
1. Ask other local moms any question you need help with.
2. Read the questions other moms have asked- and see what answers they have received.
3. Share your own advice and practical referrals with other moms who need your help.

Sounds great, right? Well, it is. Except I’ve now made some friends in Schenectady and while that’s great, it doesn’t do a Canadian girl much good. But it is a great site and I really hope someone makes a Canadian one like it very soon. It has pretty much all of the functions that a great mama support site needs and none of the advertising related spam.

Not only can you do the above mentioned three great things, but you can also read and submit reviews of local businesses. I’m loving that function. If we go to a restaurant that’s super kid & nursing friendly, I’d want to let everyone know. I’d also let everyone know if we had a bad experience somewhere in town. (Here, not in Schenectady.)

Another neat feature that I enjoy is the “so what happened” that people can add to their requests so you know how things turned out for people that you’ve given advice to. Sort of like a message board with more functionality.

Click here for my personal invitation to you to join Mamasource.com. If you’re an American mama, you won’t be disappointed.
