What is it that girls talk about? The answer may very well be absolutely everything. Topics frequently range from husbands, to kids, to friends, to family, to politics, to fashion, to celebrities. Nothing is sacred.
This same “anything goes” approach also seems to apply to the blogosphere. Blogging is a means for women to declare to the world what they are going through and to find others in a similar situation.
However, what if we could take the connections that we have formed with one another as bloggers one step farther? What if we could finally see and hear the people behind the posts that we read?
That’s where Chick Chat comes in. Chick Chat is a semimonthly post where the ladies from the Three Bay B Chicks and Hot Chocolate Caramel Mocha will film themselves chatting on a particular topic. To make things more interesting, we will be linking to three different blogs who have also filmed their own video segment in response to our conversation.
So have some fun and get clicking. Since each site has a unique video, you will have to visit all five blogs to hear and see what these ladies have to say.
Now it’s your turn. Want to turn the camera on yourself and participate in an upcoming Chick Chat? Let us know by sending an e-mail to contactchickchat@gmail.com. We are looking for both participants and topic suggestions. Our plan is to rotate the participation not only among ourselves, but also among all our friends in the blogosphere. We want to hear what everyone has to say.
We’d also like to thank the wonderful bloggers that linked to us today as part of the Chick Chat kick-off and encourage you to take a moment to visit these sites. The tales, tips, humor, and support that await you on these blogs are something to which we should all aspire to…
Hi ladies, I am brand new to SITS as of about 20 minutes ago…How lucky to have three friends going through motherhood together! My friends who are not computer oriented look at me like I have lost my mind! Maybe I have but it sure is a great way to go! ~Cathy~
For FrancescaThe idea is so interesting and nice, Francesca, but I can’t participate because I’ve still a slow connection: videos are almost impossible to watch for me! Have a very fine week ahead!

That WAS fun! I love seeing the faces and voices behind bloggers, too. The anonymity of all those opinions getting thrown around can be so aggravating sometimes. I want to go out for bellinis with you guys now!! *\0/*
Amazingly wonderful, gals. I loved the video. So warm and friendly. And, those camera cuts- very professional.
I agree you’ll be on Oprah one day. How about helping that along by making a Facebook fan page to post all the conversations or a channel on Blip.tv? Who knows this could become a web tv show
Kacey: Mom to Emi, lover of good design and original style, educator to tomorrow's world leaders, rejected the first gift that Francesca ever gave her at age 5.
Francesca: Mom to Giancarlo and Lucia, lover of good food, red wine, and all that is celebrity news, still envious of Kacey's Swatch watch collection from junior high.
Happy SITS day!!

Happy SITS day.

This is a great idea.
I would do this but my husband took my camera that makes videos with him on his TDY. Ugh.
I do have a webcam on my laptop though. Does that make videos? Hrm.
It would mean I’d have to comb my hair though before making one. I don’t want to freak anyone out with my unruly hair.

What a fun idea! It’s cool hearing what everybody thinks about these different subjects!
