The secret is out! The hottest trend in online communication is micro-blogging, and Todays Mama is taking it to the next level. Starting today, Todays Mama members can micro-blog in 140 characters or less right from the Todays Mama site. If you’d like, you can even update to Twitter at the same time! But here is what’s cool – Todays Mama is taking micro-blogging and making it local, niche. Network with specific groups and forums, or micro-blog to members only in your geographic region. Imagine logging on to Todays Mama, checking out your local micro-blogging group and seeing a message such as this:

ResourcefulMom: Montgomery County friends, avoid 270 North today! The traffic is outrageous!

Suddenly micro-blogging has taken on a whole new meaning! Use this feature for your local playgroup, your moms clubs, your sports leagues! And for those of you used to Twitter, using this great new program will be a natural addition to your online tools!

2. 3 copies of Being Green: Just in time for Earth Month, Elmo has turned green…literally! Watch as Elmo and Abby pitch in to help Mr. Earth (actor Paul Rudd in a hilariously large costume) host Sesame Street’s first Earth-a-Thon. Mr. Earth teaches Elmo and Abby how “it can be easy being green” by recycling, re-using, and conserving water and energy. Abby, in her desire to help Elmo be more “green”, accidentally turns him the color green and can’t remember how to change him back! Lots of fun ensues as Abby is eventually able to poof Elmo red again. Elmo, Cookie Monster, Rosita and Telly join Mr. Earth in pledging to continue to do “green” things to help our planet because Earth Rocks!
