New urbanism is also about how we work, raise our children and live together as neighbors-whether wersquo;re in a small rural community or the largest city.

On today's ... If you've wondered if there was a resource to help you network effectively both locally and online - your search may be over. On today's show I talk with Diane Danielson the owner of a networking organization that connects women business owners and career women both online and in person, according to their preferences, lifestyles and schedules. The local connection is the one aspect of online networking that some women find lacking especially those in new urbanism communities. Diane Danielson's Downtown Women's Club (DWC) is an organization that seeks to address this need. From numerous online events and resources that include a DWC facebook interface to local cocktail events and mixers for women, DWC provides choice for today's WAHMS, other women business owners and career professionals. Diane stresses that "downtown" is a state of mind not just a place. Whether you're in the suburbs, rural areas, or a major metro area like Chicago, D.C. or New York, DWC likely has a chapter near you. If not you can easily start one without paying any fees. You can also network with the thousands of women in sister chapters across the country and now the world. The other topic discussed during our talk was the gap in knowledge and engagement between mommy bloggers and corporate women. Mommy bloggers and work at home women are way ahead of their counterparts in the corporate world when it comes to using web 2.0 technology to further their businesses. Listen in to today's program as Diane shares some perspectives on the reason for these differences and what the future holds for women online.
