When was the last time you talked to your mum? Has she ventured onto the internet? Do you stay in touch via Facebook updates or does she follow your Twitter stream?

As bloggers many of us take for granted the ways we stay connected. We click, post, blog and status update ourselves every day, some of us almost every minute of the day! In fact, most of our online friends hear from us more than our Mums these days; so Telstra has come to the rescue with the perfect way to help us help Mum keep in touch.

Mum 2.0 is Telstra’s way of helping all Mum’s stay in touch, the 2010 way. It’s about showing her just how to message us, poke us, see our photos and find us when we’re travelling the globe! Now this may sound great to Mum, but really, you don’t really want Mum popping up on your Facebook wall wondering if you wore clean underwear on you date now do you? And this is where Mum 2.0 comes in. Telstra isn’t just showing Mum’s how to connect, but the right way to do it! Netiquette is a tricky skill for the best of us, so Telstra helps Mum navigation the social media minefield and stay in touch without revealing your innermost secrets to your 500 friends!

Telstra’s Digital Mum Facebook group is giving Mum all the tips and tricks she needs to survive the digital jungle. Where she can learn that re-tweeting isn’t just that sparrow out the back window that drives her mad at 5am. That a “blogger” isn’t someone who cuts down trees for a living and where tagging is more than something done by local reprobates on train walls. It’s about giving her skills and confidence.

It isn’t just Mum that is going to be mighty pleased to hear from you – WE want to too! Tell us about your Mum and her internet experiences and you could WIN a HTC HD2 phone valued at $1,099.00 including a $30 Telstra Sim card!
