About Us
Wired Moms is a coalition of moms and mom groups with a central
focus of connecting with their families through technology and to
getting the most out of the new innovations that make their lives
easier and more fun and keeping our kids and ourselves safe
online.
Wired Moms is place for moms to meet, share, help each other and keep up to date on the latest technologies that can make our lives easier and more fun! It is a social network for moms who want to connect while keeping themselves, their families and their kids (and all kids) safe. Got a business to promote? Other moms may want to help support your efforts. A cause that is important to you? Other moms are sure to care. The latest and greatest (or duds!) in digital technologies, we’ll review them and share the straight mom’s talk. Want advice on cyberdating or keeping your kids safe from cyberbullies? We’ll have that too.
This social network will be what you, the moms and mom groups, make it. Share, learn, listen and speak out! It’s a cyberarmy of moms coordinating to improve their lives, the lives of their families and the wellbeing of their kids and all kids online. We’ll help find the bad guys and the good ones we can trust. We’ll support each other and provide help when we can. We’ll share expertise and experiences and even laugh a little.
New innovations can bring new challenges to the family. This site will provide moms with tools and skills to navigate the maze of these new innovations and technologies. It’s your virtual back fence where instead of trading recipes, we will trade ways to address the tech challenges and rewards our generation faces. Sometimes you just need another mom to talk with. That’s why we created WiredMoms. We’re moms too.

ParryAftab, Founder - Parry Aftab is a security, privacy and cyberspace lawyer, as well as an author and child advocate. Recently more than 90% of her time is donated to Internet issues involving children and adults, ranging from protecting children from sex crimes online to helping adults avoid identity theft and fraud online. Her main focus is teaching good cybercitizenship, especially to young people. This includes cyberbullying and responsible use of technology.
Parry is in demand as a public speaker, consultant and resource to the media worldwide. In addition, she is The Privacy Lawyer columnist for Information Week Magazine and runs a very popular blog at theprivacylawyer.blogspot.com.
Parry is perhaps best known for combining sound practices, the law and the vision of empowering Internet and mobile users to enjoy the Internet safely, privately and responsibly. She has acted as a consultant to most of the children's Internet industry, helping them comply with the law, while improving the Internet experience for children. When children and the Internet are concerned, Ms. Aftab's name is the first mentioned. Parry Aftab is a worldwide leader in the area of online safety and parent and child Internet education.
As Executive Director of WiredSafety.org, the largest online safety and educational program in cyberspace, Ms. Aftab helps prevent and investigate cybercrime. Under its former name, her group was awarded the President's Service Award in October 1998 from the White House and Points of Light Foundation. Ms Aftab also works closely with law enforcement around the world to police the Internet and is part of the Home Office CybercrimeTask Force in the UK.

Mary Heston, social networking director, is an Internet expert with over 15 years of website development experience focusing primarily on bringing together moms online. In the mid 90's Mary moved her offline bookclub online to stayathomemom.com. Shortly after the new formation of this group the club found Parry Aftab's book "A Parents' Guide to the Internet...and how to protect your children in cyberspace" and they were thrilled when Parry answered an email requesting an interview for the online bookclub. Mary became a volunteer for WiredSafety.org but with 4 very small children at home focused her time on her kids and working on projects online that related to the family and allowed for constant interruption.
Mary has been a guest on the Oprah Winfrey show discussing the topic of connecting with your kids.
Mary and Parry met once again in early 2009 and decided that the time was exactly right to formally organize the group of Moms who had been volunteering their time to the project of keeping kids safe online and bring them together with a central focus of keeping our kids and ourselves safe online, connecting with their families through technology and to getting the most out of the new innovations that make their lives easier and more fun.
Mary developed the @wiredmoms and @wiredmomTwitter site and can be found ( with great regularity ) out on the tweetdeck.
Because of her children's early interest in Myspace.com and other social networks Mary has also developed an expertise in practical applications of using Web 2.0 strategies for family and business uses. Another benefit of raising teenage boys in the late 90's and into the new millennium is that Mary has become somewhat of a video game expert as well and loves to talk about the new trends and esrb ratings with anyone who shares the enthusiasm for connecting with your kids by playing games with them.
===================
Along with Parry and Mary, Wired Moms consists of great Moms and Aunties and even some Dads around the US, Canada, and internationally who bring a wide variety of expertise in their own particular interests to the group. Our Volunteers are the heart and soul of Wired Moms. They are not just our VIP's they are our VIM's "Very Important Moms"
