Tech News Beats

Niche websites catering to a particular section of the population is the buzz these days. Today, I will share such a website which targets the mothers in Bangalore. Blrmoms.com claims to be a social networking site for moms of Bangalore. Once you sign-up you can ask questions, advice and associate with Blrmoms in various ways. The site offers questions & answers section, blogs, groups, tools like pregnancy due date chart, vaccine schedule etc. In the groups section one can create a group like baby feeding etc. They also organize for members to meet up often.

So is this website only for Bangalore moms? No, it is open to anybody from grand parents to father who cares for mom. The website was started by Bhavani Raman a techie and mother of two. She said that unavailability of information related to moms has prompted her to start with Chennaimoms.com and then a year later Blrmoms.com was launched.

As of now the site seems to be non commercial with no ads, sales etc. But we will have to wait and see how long it can be self funded and non money maker. Because the cost input will continue to rise. If they can offers really good content and service then at some point of time they can have paid membership. Well, then they will have to create premium sections.

They claims the site to be safe and they do not share any personal info with others. They have also launched some more sites focused on other cities like Delhimoms.com, Hyderabadmoms.com and Bharatmoms.com.
