Today, the last new posts will be going up across all Silicon Valley Moms Blogs.
While Beth Blecherman (a.k.a Tech Mama), Co-Founder and Chief Technology Mom of the Silicon Valley Moms Group, has made a personal commitment to keep the site live for fans and contributors to continue to visit, there will be no new content or comments on any of the sites as of July 1, 2010. It’s a sad day for many of us.
Since hearing the news of the site’s closing, I’ve read some stunning tributes, tearful good-byes, and most of all, whole lot of gratitude.
I wrote my own “thank you and farewell” the day after the announcement was made and I’ve complied some of the others here:
