Very (very) late comment, but please, please, please send this list to Margaret Wente at the Globe and Mail, who just blithely announced that women don’t participate in tech. She’s been roundly criticized for it, but this list should be required reading for her.

I think another outstanding woman in social media is Lauren Cook @laurencook from Swarm Collective. She is doing some great work with innovative and effective campaigns for companies.

I want to thank Eden for offering to inclue me here as well!

I think this man/woman thing sometimes devolves into linkbait and ignores the fact that men and women can compete on a level playing field – they have to bring what they are best at to the table, and success follows. Chris Penn, Chris brogan and I run the Podcamp Foundation, and there’s always a good mix of men and women at Podcamp, both as speakers and attendees. In fact, Podcamp is a great place to get experience speaking and hone your skills- it definitely has helped me make the jump to speaking and consulting for clients of all sizes, and it would not have happened without getting the experience through unconferences with open speaking lists.

What about Kathryn Finney (www.thebudgetfashionista.com), who not only has a large number of twitter followers, but also has a huge website and started the site The Budget Fashionista in 2003, which is paved the way for sites like Bargainista.

not considering sex in shout-out lists or conference speakers etc is akin to saying we’re so progressive that we’re colour blind, then having only white folks in the room. even in an innovative field like social media where women are gloriously representin’, we all have to be deliberate in naming and recognizing them otherwise ian’s right, the ol’ boys club becomes the default.

so thanks, ian, for igniting this showcase.
