On the Fast Company List of Influential Women in Tech

Kaliya Young · January 26, 2009 · 5 Comments

This morning I got a ping via facebook from Bernard Moon:

hey, congrats on making the Fast Company list. you didn’t even post about it on your blog. don’t be humble! 🙂

It is an amazing list. It was sparked in part by the “heated conversation” that erupted after they posted The Most Influential Women in Web 2.0. They divide the list into these 7 categories and resisted the temptation to “number” us from “most influential to less influential” – thank goodness cause that would have been a very alpha-dog thing to do.

  • The Executives
  • The Entrepreneurs
  • The Gamers
  • The Evangelists
  • The Activists
  • The Bloggers
  • The Brainiacs

I am in the list of evangelists that includes, Mitchell Baker, danah boyd, Red Burns, Susan Crawford, Esther Dyson, Tara Hunt, Charlene Li and Mary Meeker.
This is a quote from their introduction and reflects the same reasons why I helped get She’s Geeky started. That is the unconference for women in tech that is happening for the third time next weekend
women in tech remain at a distinct disadvantage by any metric: average salary, top-management representation, board memberships. Silicon Valley, in particular, remains largely a boys’ club. In May 2007, Women in Technology International published a survey of 2,000 working women, about half of whom reported gender-based workplace inequality or said their opinions were less respected or sought out than those of male counterparts.
Several of the women who are on the list wrote blog posts for Fast company. Later today they are publishing a post that I did about the other women who work in digital identity.
The only tech sector that I know of that has gender parity is the non-profit technology sector. Beth Kanter who I met at the first BlogHer – has a great post about other amazing women in her sector.
Rashmi Sinha from Slide Share has a post up listing A Daily Dose of Blogs for the Tech Entrepreneur.
Tara Hunt co-founder of Citizen Agency has a post on 7 ways to increase your Whuffie Factor.

    It does not genuinely make any difference quite a lot, along with becoming the idea moves along all of it sort of drags collectively.
