By way of Rob’s blog, I found out about CNET’s Top 10 Girl Geeks list.
(**sigh**) What can I say? It’s as silly as Adam Curry’s 7 Hottest Women in Podcasting.
No wonder women aren’t taken seriously in the technology field. Because of silly, dumb lists like the one by CNET and Curry. You gotta be half naked (see Adam’s list), half crazed (Daryl Hannah on CNET’s), not real (Lisa Simpson?), mostly expired (Mary Shelley) or all ditsy (Paris Hilton) to be considered a force in technology as a woman.
Rob said I should be added to a Top 10 Geek Girl list (thanks Rob). And no, not because I’m half naked, half crazed, not real, mostly expired and somewhat ditsy 😉 I’m just half crazed.
Technorati: paris hilton, lisa simpson, daryl hannah, adam curry, women, women in technology
Many thanks, Collin. I’m making this list about women only because I want to produce something savvy to counter all the silly lists I’ve seen so far.
Also, I’ve been to too many podcasting conferences where I don’t see alot of women, plus I get too many complaints from organizers saying they can’t find female podcasters to add to their speaker’s list. So, this list is an attempt to show the many smart, sassy and savvy women I know in podcasting so everyone can help me congratulate these trailblazers.
It’s certainly to say there aren’t any savvy male podcasters out there. There are many, but for now, I’ll focus on the ladies.
not sure why the list has to be about women, but you get my vote forthought leading in podcasting.
You’d get my vote for the Smart Women in Podcasting list. There should be a list like this! 😎
