They haven't broken or disrupted the system yet, so I don't think it's really safe to assume that just because Oprah is covering twitter that the SAHM moms are going to ruin the system. They've actually been a very influential group both on twitter and the blogosphere, raising thousands of dollars towards charities and enacting change in the world. I personally built an entire website based on this fact, internet savy moms are already a very large and socially powerful group.

On Multiply, if you're inundated with banality, it's because the people you know are banal. :-)
