I feel like I'm such a small fry in this super-sized arena of the internet, but I'm here, nonetheless.

There are women who blog about tech and there are women in tech who blog. Niniane and I fall into the second category.

I'm a girl and I blog about I.T. - http://www.joiningdots.net/... and tweet - http://twitter.com/joiningdots but not yet on FriendFeed (undecided).

Only 2 out of a list of 40 is a bit skinny. But not that far out. Having presented at large and small technology conferences, average audience participation is 10% women at best. (And ditto for the presenters.) As for the Techmeme leaderboard. There's only about 12 individual blogs on there = room for one woman. There did used to be one - Kathy Sierra. Look what happened to her. Verbal abuse towards women tends to get a lot uglier than towards men. Mind you, I wouldn't want to have to deal with the stuff that gets thrown at Scoble either. If that's the price of entry, you boys can keep your playground.

Nice notion, but I wonder what the percentages are in terms of male and female bloggers. If, for example, only 10% of all bloggers are female you actually were pretty representative in your list. People forget this mathematical aspect of representativeness too often.

Hi Louis,

my first visit to your blog. Just heard about you today when Duncan Riley slammed you. Which means you must be an ok guy 8).

Anyway if you would like to find some more great female bloggers. Take a quick look at our speakers at BlogWorld last year:

Yeah. I read a lot of these bloggers, but it's because I like their stuff, not the fact that they are women.
