description The four baby websites with most users in Spain (www.mibebeyyo.com, www.bebesymas.com, www.parabebes.com and www.elbebe.com) are at the centre of the present study. The sites have been analysed from the perspective of the social web, or Web 2.0, focusing on their structure and content throughout one year (from October 2010 to October 2011), as well as on their presence on Facebook and Twitter. Also, user preferences and the levels of user activity and participation were studied. The purpose was to determine how the potential of Web 2.0 is materialised in the very concrete segment of the population that is the target of the websites, mothers and mothers-to-be.
