Wow–where do I begin? Kate Trgovac has to be on that list for certain. I have run into her under so many guises; she really is prolific and I owe many things I know to her (which she probably doesn’t realize).

And Gina Bianchini, co-founder of of Ning has been so responsive to questions and concerns I had.

Tara Hunt living in San Francisco who I love to follow via Twitter.

Eden Spodek is just really hitting her stride with some smart promotion over at Bargainista.ca
.

Ms Sassy Science, Sonya Buyting, another one whose exploits I love to follow on Twitter.

And the famous young librarian Andrea Mercado who is shaking things up with new thinking. I had the privilege of meeting and talking with her at Podcamp Boston.

Okay, I have probably missed at least 30 other women I admire, but this is a start! I am interested to see who others choose. ;-)

Cheers,
Connie

Top 10 Girl Geeks…

CNet UK posted an article at the end of November called the Top 10 Girl Geeks. I hadn’t had a chance to look at it until now, but I heard there was quite an uproar over it…now I know why….

meg hourihan who was one of the co-founders of pyra labs — the folks behind blogger. though she’s not that active in tech right now, you can’t question the impact of blogger on web 2.0.

I’d completely forgotten about that story. The last time I heard it was in Bubble 1.0 when Wi-LAN was duelling with Cisco over wifi protocols and patents.

One of the comments I saw somewhere was right on the money — Hedy Lamarr should be on that list for sure. She helped invent the spread-spectrum broadcasting standard, which was a crucial development in communications and the foundation of the cellphone industry.
