Bnter.com

Becoming a Mom gives new meaning to the idea of milestones; from pregnancy to labor, and their first cry to a first tooth – the list goes on as do the years. Then in the blink of an eye, your baby suddenly turns into a chatty toddler with more to say than we ever imagined, and at least three-quarters of the banter is side-splittingly funny.

How many times have you thought to yourself after your child had stated a certain hilarity, “I must remember to write that down!”? But reality sets in and the moment passes.

Bnter.com (pronounced “banter”), a social network designed for capturing conversations, proves a modern way to save those precious moments and share them with family members, friends, and followers. Web- and app-based, Bnter.com can be accessed from your laptop, ipad, or smart phone. Simple to use, free and fun, Bnter.com offers an organized means of sharing those funny moments in a more visually appealing way than simply sharing them in your Facebook or Twitter stream.

Here’s what MotherTalk bloggers are saying about Bnter.com:

Chicka Nuts Reviews: “With ease of use, and quick sign up (and sharing), you can keep a sort of “online baby book” (if you’re a parent) or other memories, quips, and conversations. I consider it a happy medium between text and Facebook. You can gather “friends”. The drawback that I saw was the inability to continue a conversation. So get on over there and banter about what you wish! It’s already all over the internet anyway…why not keep it some place the ol’ brain won’t forget?”

Not So Average Mama: “What the heck is Bnter? That is what I was saying when I was first asked to go check out the site Bnter.com.  At first I was a little confused, but after browsing around I was thinking “how brilliant is this?” I’ll tell you how brilliant it is…super brilliant!  I have never seen a site like this.  Something new and exciting.“

Homemade Mom: “Bnter is a great new site where you can share the funny things your kids say! It’s so great to have a place to read just funny things out of the mouths of babes! It is set up like instant messaging windows but you write down the banter that occurred between 2 or more people. It even allows you to add photos for the people you banter with.”

Musings from Me: I have a task for you. Think back on the weekend. What did your kids say that was really funny, or sad, or just odd? If your child is a toddler the phrases are well worth recording. But, don’t forget about the kids, tweens, and teens. When you recall what your child said, head over to Bnter.com and enter the quote.”

Mom of 2 Dancers: “My girls are older now, I have to admit I have forgotten A LOT of the funny things they have said. All of those adorable little sayings or conversations that you think at the time you will always remember. Or that you will write it down and then forget to do that.  Have you done that yourself? If so, I have found a great new social media site that lets you record all of those fun little things your kids say. It is called Bnter and is pronounced Banter.”

Home Grown Families: “Bnter is a social networking site that forges relationships through ‘Banter.’  Basically, the concept is that you post your funny convos and others comment on it. It sounds weird until you actually try it… I really like it and see how it could become popular~ quickly.”

Arms of a Sister: “So things get forgotten. And I get sad thinking about it. But then there’s Bnter. An online website where you can share these memories – but not necessarily with all of your online friends. You can limit this to close family members and special friends, if you’d like. People who know your kids and who would appreciate the fact that you’re sharing. Or, if you’re really into sharing these conversations with more people – you can, but you don’t have to.”

Before the Baby Wakes: “I’m sure that if you have kids you are not lacking in the “Kid’s say the darnedest things” material. From the cute, to the funny, the inappropriate, the profound. It’s all there. In fact one of my favorite things to do is sit & listen to Phoenix talk. Well now there is another cool social media site where you can share the “bnter” that goes back & forth in a house full of kids.”

Mint Green with Envy: “I just signed up with this amazing new social networking site called Bnter.  For those of you who have fun and wacky conversations, or just interesting ones that you would love to share with your friends this is the site for you.  Just enter the user’s name you had a conversation with and then post it to your Bnter feed, then sit back and watch as your friends comment on your conversations.”

A Mom Less Ordinary: “Bnter.com is a new and easy-to-use social media site that allows you to share conversations with others. Like Twitter, you can follow someone and have access to their communication exchanges as well. It’s got a bit of a Twitter feel to it, but a much more pleasing “atmosphere” featuring cute little dialogue bubbles. It’s a fun little way to share a snippet of your life, especially as a Mom.”

A Mom’s Balancing Act: “As a Mom, one of my favorite things is seeing my kids learn and do new things. I love each and every milestone, especially when they learn to talk. Those conversations are ones I could listen to for hours! Sadly…these precious times when our children are young go too quickly. I’d love to hold onto theses memories and many times, wish time would stand still. I do my best to write things down in their baby books and capture new milestones on video…but life gets busy and this doesn’t always happen. That is why I was excited to learn more about Bnter (pronounced “Banter”).”

Sweet T Makes Three: “We all know that kids say the darnedest things and Bnter has created a social network to archive and share those memorable conversations. Bnter.com (pronounced “banter”) is a social network designed for capturing conversations. It gives moms a modern way to save those “kidisms” and share them with family members, friends, and followers. You can also access Web- and app-based, Bnter.com from your mobile devices. Bnter.com is free, simple to use, and easy to organize.”

Donna’s World: “Bnter is for capturing snippets of a conversation. You can post from Twitter, Facebook, or Tumblr. Also, you can import conversations from Twitter and Facebook. They are quickly adding more places that participate. The posts are cute with little bubbles containing the words. It is easy to sign up – just create a username, a password, and your email address.”

Loving Heart Mommy: “Have you heard of Bnter? Its the coolest way to share and archive your conversations with all your family and friends! Not only can you communicate with Bnter, you can also add Bnter to your Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr just to name a few social media sites.”

Ace and Friends Co.: “Pros: Great place to collect and store funny conversations. Easily creates accounts. Easy to import friends from Facebook and Twitter. Easily share conversations with your friends and family. Cons: You can’t add photos into your conversation. Current friends are not members.“

Pinkie and The Bean: “I’ve used and watched Bnter.com for two weeks now. I originally shared a conversation I had with Bean just to see how it would look on the site. Here is a link to see my entry. You can see it is easy to follow a conversation. This beats trying to follow a Twitter chat any day.”

CreativelyB: “Who remembers that show Kids Say The Darnedest Things?! I loved this show and remember watching it with my grandma. Who doesn’t have a kid, niece/nephew, sibling, friend …. or even themselves that has said something share-worthy?! I know I do this ALL the time .. haha! This is where Bnter comes in.”

I Need a Playdate: “If Tumblr & Twitter got together and had a baby it would be Bnter.  Yeah, that’s right, I said it and I stand by it.  Except, Bnter is really cool.  Not that the other two aren’t!  I mean… I LOVE me some Twitter and Tumblr is just plain fun but this more PG and less spamy.”

Mom and More: “It is a free website that is very simple to use and then share your conversations through Twitter or Facebook. I added a conversation and it literally took me a minute.  It is nice because I usually have my laptop open and I can rarely find a pen and paper (and if I do then I usually loose the paper!)  I am definitely curious to keep adding conversations and seeing what my friends and family see!”

Fresh Start Academy: “I can’t wait to share these with the kids when they are older. They may not think it is as funny as I do but someday they will appreciate that I captured these moments in time with them. My kids are a little older, I so wish there was something like this when they were smaller.”

BookRoom Reviews: “I admit I was a bit confused at first how to navigate the website. It is easy to sign up and there is the option to make your account private or to share your conversations with friends by following them. I added a conversation I had with my son today, which was also easy to figure out.”

Hanging Off the Wire: “So say your kiddos have a funny conversation, or you overhear something funny, you can post as person #1, and person #2, and it will show the conversation bubbles. And then others can make comments on it below. It is another fun way to keep in touch with others and see what interesting and funny things are going on in their world.”

Mommy’s Free Time: “Have you ever heard of Bnter? If not this is a site you should really check out! Bnter is a way to share your conversations and learn more about the lives of friends and others. Sure, you can send email, make a phone call or even tweet it along with posting it on Facebook but it sure won’t look as cute and entertaining as Bnter!”

The Suburban Jungle: “One of the funniest parts about Bnter are the illustrated conversations. They take their favorite conversations and make them into comic strips. I like that. I especially like the “mom jeans” conversation. I’ve been having similar mom jean conversations lately, so it makes me smile to see another version of that conversation.”

Here and There: “Recently I was introduced to the social network Bnter.com  – pronounced Banter. Describe it as free, simple to use, fun way to share the best of times or otherwise with family, friends, and followers. Check it out for yourself at Bnter.com and get those vignettes of life down for posterity – short, sweet, neat.”

This Mama Loves Her Bargains: “I definitely think this could be a great way to document and save some of those memorable conversations, discussions and happenings with your children.  I know I’ve had some Facebook status updates over the years that involve the kids that were hilarious- I’d never be able to go through them all to regain the status update as written, during whatever it was that happened- so I can see myself using a site like Bnter.com for all things kid related- you just never know when something will be a “thing” that you remember forever with the kids, so why not keep track?  Better safe than sorry!”

Opinions of a Moody Mama: “I also love the fact that you can keep up with the other children in your life as they grow. Bnter.com is a great way to follow along and watch as the children in your family who don’t live close enough to see on a regular basis grow up! This especially comes in handy for me because a large part of my family lives 12 hours away!”

Newly Crunchy Mama of 3: “Yep…Kids say the darndest things….And now, thanks to the new social sharing site, Bnter, you can chronicle and share these conversations! And any other conversations that you’d like, whether they be sappy, sweet, ridiculous, life-changing, or just plain silly. Of course, you should always respect others and ask before sharing.”

Sage and Savvy: “My friends always comment about how I have such a good memory, especially when it comes to funny conversations, and now, thanks to Bnter.com, I can easily share and save funny conversations I have with my kids or between friends with others!”

Oh Boy, Oh Boy, Oh Boy!: “I love the idea of being able to capture those conversations that make me giggle or scratch my head with my kids.  Because really, kids DO say the darnedest things!  But I also love looking at others conversations because it reminds me that my kids are the only….unique ones.”

The Review Stew: “I headed right over to make an account on Bnter.com so that I can always record my son’s future funnies! It was really easy to do and was just three easy steps:
Step 1: Connect with friends via Twitter and Facebook. Step 2: Upload Photo of yourself. Step 3: Post a conversation you had with your child”

MiscFinds4U: “I did a little more research and found that it really has several purposes – for those who text, it’s a place to archive and/or share your favorite texts. Since I rarely send SMS texts, this function doesn’t appeal to me, but I know that I’m in the minority here. The other purpose is to connect people in like conversations.  While neither of these appeal to me, what does is being able to save snippets of conversations, for my private use, and that’s why Bntnr is going to be joining my Social Media plan.”

Practical Frugality: “The most important advice I think we can give new moms is to write down the memories you want to keep. The problem is that we often think that ourselves, but then the moment passes and we get busy and forget. Or, we might remember to write it down, but then we have just scraps of paper to keep up with. BNTER is a site that is accessible from so many platforms, and offers a place to write down these thoughts and memories.”

Mom-E-Centric: “This about logging those conversations so that years from now, or even next week (if I happen to be brain-vegging) I can sit back and recall my youngsters finest moments.  That brings me to BNTR.  It’s a great site for recording small (or large if you are discussing probability) conversations.  You can check out your friends and their conversations and you can even export your conversations to Twitter and Facebook.”

The Roubinek Reality: “One thing I do know is that with the social media age we are in, it makes it so much easier to share and record all of the things the kids do and accomplish.  Obviously I share everything on our blog, post snippets on facebook and twitter, as well as videos on youtube.  Meet Bnter, pronounced “banter.”  It’s a free social network where you can record all of those awesome conversations you never want to forget.”

Taylortots, Aprilcots, and Meh: “Enter Bnter. The sole purpose of this nifty little website is to record silly conversations that you have with your friends and family.  The really nifty part?  You can then post links to your Bnter conversations directly to Facebook or Twitter, follow your friends’ feeds and also keep your quotes easily accessible on your Bnter page (stuff tends to disappear after a while on Facebook).”

I Like It Frantic: “Now you can not only have a space to remember these conversations by documenting them but you can share them with your twitter and Facebook friends by using Bnter.com I posted a conversation already over there and it was easy to add each message in the conversation and then publish the story.”

Mommy Cracked: “The next time you feel guilty about not keeping up the baby book for your child, check out Bnter and see how easy it is to save and share those precious memories.  You’ll be glad you did!”
