Mother Bear, the app referred to as “Tinder for moms” because it connects mothers by letting them swipe each other’s profiles, is launching a new community discussion feature called Mother Bear Pages.
Mother Bear Pages is meant to give mothers a better alternative to Facebook Groups, Quora and other social platforms. Many Facebook users default to its groups, while people who hate Facebook can find communities on Reddit, Quora and other platforms. Co-workers have private Slack channels and neighbors can arrange playdates or find babysitters on Nextdoor. So how will Mother Bear Pages stand out from the fray? “I think that is exactly the issue,”. “Social has become so broad. The landscape is so fragmented. All of that incredible resource, knowledge, sharing, is being lost, or is not accessible by all women, because there is no one central repository.” Mother Bear wants to give women who have different interests, identities and parenting styles their own platform instead of lumping them into the same category.
