It appears we've reached all the low-hanging fruit.
Catherine's global mom meme has generated a number of new posts this week, but none from countries we haven't already seen. We're at 226 posts in 41 countries and 7 languages. That's not to say The World According To Mom hasn't added significant diversity, however.
I'm very pleased that Susan Niebur of Whymommy fame has joined the discussion, posting at the group blog Mothers With Cancer. Catherine and Amira & Solana at Global Voices Online all think that as we continue to strive for geographic diversity, we should remember that diversity of perspective takes many forms. All moms (and dads) from all walks of life are welcome to participate here.
Eighty countries is within reach. Here's a modest goal - 68 countries celebrate Mothers Day this May 10. Only 22 of those countries are home to bloggers who have participated in the discussion. Let's see if we can get a few more on that list.
