The Today Show, aired on NBC, averages on 5 million viewers every morning of the week. The hugely popular morning show now has decided to go beyond their show and website and target perhaps their biggest target audience; Moms.
As Mommy bloggers steadily grow in ranks, the segment is beginning to wield more influence in both the blogosphere and on the web as a whole. And it looks like NBC is waking up to the potential power of this audience, hence the introduction of TodayMoms.com.

Today I bumped into Quirky, a very interesting community. Quirky is a social product development company.

An interesting new campaign to raise awareness on breast cancer, to put it mildly. The Rethink Breast Cancer Initiative just launched a little pool-side music-video appreciation of one white-bikini-clad woman’s assets. Interesting since it seems to both attract and engage the male audience as well. Even with a Booby Ball.
October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month so why not get started early?

First there was GitarHero, than there was Rock Band, now there is Rock Band Bar Nights. In the US, bars can become official Rock Band bars to give their customers the change to hit the stage and rock in front of a live audience, rather than behind a TV-set.

The principle of the game is simple: you and three other friends can form a band and feel like an actual rock star in your own living room. You can play the lead guitar, bass guitar, drums or take the microphone. And playing the game on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 allows players to interact with other people anywhere and play the ‘Band World Tour’ mode.
