The annual White House Correspondents’ Association dinner is typically dominated by a guest list full of traditional Hollywood and media celebrities. But on April 25, 2015, several YouTube and digital stars like Bethany Mota and Nash Grier will sit at the The Huffington Post table, thanks to invitations from the publication’s founder Arianna Huffington.
Grier and Mota (who previously had the honor of interviewing President Obama) are only two of several digital-centric attendees on Huffington’s guest list. Joining the Viner and YouTuber at the HuffPo table are Vine star Marcus Johns, Napster founder and ex-Facebook president Sean Parker, blogger Heather Armstrong, Snapchat celebrity Jerome Jarre, and YouTube vlogger Tyler Oakley. Huffington also invited media theorist and Ted speaker Steven Johnson, scientist Neil deGrasse Tyson, Serial podcast host and journalist Sarah Koenig, and hip-hop artist Killer Mike.

Kendra Wilkinson has never been one to avoid speaking her mind, and she’s not about to start, even when it comes to motherhood.
“Something I truly want to do and be a part of is a talk about being a mom and relating to other moms,” she tells People of Around the Clock, a new Web series that features her, Laila Ali, Ali Landry, Camila Alves and Dooce.com‘s Heather Armstrong discussing their parenting preferences, including on such tricky subjects as eating placenta.
“All I have to say is, ‘Are we Hannibal Lecter or something?’” she says.

The internet loves it some moms. Kourtney Kardashian, Heather Armstrong, Soleil Moon Frye, and Daphne Brogdon are just a few of the proud parents with recognizable names creating online video content catering to the progenitors of today’s tots, tweens, and teens, a demo that also represents 20% or so of internet users and the sex that makes 85% of purchasing decisions. Deca loves it some moms, too. The online video network and distributor is responsible for some of the internet’s best mother-oriented programming featuring some of the internet’s most high-profile moms (like the ones I mentioned above). Momversation, HerChannel, and the recently launched YouTube network KinCommunity all provide family-friendly and informative content ranging from the (kinda) practical to philosophical. We have lots of questions surrounding this type of content (How does it appeal to advertisers? How does it get made? And, given all the moms online, why isn't there...

Who knew that the debate of circumcision was so hot right now? Seriously, this is apparently a hot button issue amongst new parents and parents-to-be. So what better topic to tackle in the launch of Deca's newest original web series, Parents Ask (above). Deca is fast becoming to parenting what Revision3 is to gamers and techies, building up a stable of original web series around an super-focused audience. Their Target-sponsored hit Momversation recently rolled out its 100th episode and Daphne Brogdon's Cool Mom is still going strong. Sure, they also rock World of Warcraft slugfest Project Lore and Boing Boing, but in terms of new properties it's all about the parents. "We know that parents are looking online for answers to the tough questions about raising their kids, so we set out to bring together a panel of the top experts in the country," said Deca's CEO Michael Wayne.

We're not quite a the point where this calls for full-page congratulatory buyouts in Variety, but 100 episodes is still a milestone. Sure, it's not the TV syndication gravy train that lets Friends and Seinfeld stars collect ski chalets, but in the web world, it means you're doing something right. Momversation hit the vaunted 100th episode maker this week, and the A-list mommyblogger show continues to draw audiences not just as viewers but as active participants. Santa Monica-based Deca, the digital studio that created the web series, says this frequent community chatter was by design. Armstong is joined by other well-read bloggers like Rebecca Woolf, Asha Dornfest of ParentHacks.com, Giyen Kim of BaconIsMyEnemy.com and Alice Bradley of Finslippy. They also seem to score a not-too-shabby group of guest panelists—like Access Hollywood’s Nancy O’Dell and NY State Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (in an upcoming episode). Related News:‘Momversation...

Momversation would not be the same without the presence of über mommyblogger Heather Armstrong, founder of dooce. Heather began blogging in 2001 to chronicle her life. Her readers have followed her work in La, subsequent firing (for blogging about people from work), getting married, moving to Salt Lake City, having a baby, postpartum depression, and current life as a wife and mom. These days a healthy Heather is pregnant with her second child, excited about her new book, and loves sharing her parenting thoughts with the Momversation viewers. Tubefilter caught up with Heather to ask her about being in a web series and what she thinks the moms of Momversation will come up with next. Tubefilter: With your blog, new book, and busy family life, how do you make time to be in a web series? Heather Armstrong: I was really interested the format of it. One because there wasn't...
