Find or Start a Moms Group at iPlaygroups.com

Looking for or starting a moms group?  While it looks like the site recently went through some changes and the forum looks recently established (meaning there aren't a whole lot of threads yet), iPlaygroups.com looks like it could be promising.  Especially when one sees the number of local moms groups listed in their directory. 

At iPlaygroups.com one can find a moms group one of three ways: Searching by moms group category, location, or by starting a new moms group.

When searching by category, options include: General, SAHM, Attachment Parenting, Single Parents, Working Moms, Military Moms, and Moms of Multiples, just to name a few.  However, the listings don't appear to be listed in alphabetical order or by location within those listings. So while it is exciting to see like-minded moms with similar interests eager for a play date, it could be potentially disappointing when it's realized they live across the country.

In my opinion, the best bet is to use iPlaygroups.com's search by location function.  There's a big map of North America allowing users to see at first glance whether or not a moms group is available on this directory nearby.  Using the map feature is easy, double-clicking will zoom in, scrolling over the markers will give a short description of the moms group.  The short description includes zip code(s) and ages of kids.  If a user thinks the moms group could be a good match, clicking on the "learn more" link will give registered users more information about actually joining that moms group.

iPlaygroups.com is a great place for finding moms groups, however, the forum and community show promise if users start to engage more with these features in the future.
