App Friday: Moms With Apps Turns TWO!

In November of 2009, four moms connected over Twitter and held a conference call to discuss how to cross-market their apps. That call led to people from all over the world (now 750+), exchanging knowledge on the Moms With Apps forum. For two years, developers shared their techniques, data, and enthusiasm for family-friendly apps. Next month, we finally bring that forum face-t0-face with our very own “Moms With Apps Workshop” (email me via the Eventbrite site if you want the password). So, if you hear the earth move on December 2nd – don’t fret – because it’s just a few moms who mean business. Happy Anniversary Moms With Apps, and more importantly, HAPPY APP FRIDAY!!!

P.S. Don’t forget to check out our NEW Link Exchange at the bottom of the page – it’s hosted by a Fierce Gray Mouse!
