Babble Launches Babblepedia.com: The First-ever Parenting Wiki

Babble beats Disney to the punch; Offers $1000 for whoever posts most entries in June

(PRWEB) May 30, 2007 -- Babble introduces Babblepedia.com (http://www.babblepedia.com), the first-ever parenting wiki, written for parents, by parents. Readers can write or edit articles about any parenting-related subject, as well as access roundups of experts' viewpoints. From breast-feeding and circumcision to sleep schedules and the mysteries of colic, it's an easy yet encyclopedic one-stop information database.

Editor-in-Chief Ada Calhoun said, "You can make yourself crazy Googling parenting issues. There's so much information out there, but it feels like everyone has an agenda. Babblepedia.com is a place to get fast answers from fellow parents."

Babblepedia.com (http://www.babblepedia.com) is the first comprehensive, parent-edited wiki of its kind. While Disney has announced plans to launch a parenting database (http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/56271.html), Babble has beaten them to the punch. Because Babble is focused exclusively on the needs of parents, it is in a unique position to offer the best possible resource, with its mixture of common sense, humor, and hip urban appeal. As an incentive to early users, Babble is offering $1,000 to whoever submits the most high-quality posts by June 30.
