A Video Reply to Geek Goddess’ Lament

13 Apr 2007 (Fri)

HERE’S A FUNNY VIDEO REPLY to the excellent point that Estee (Geek Goddess) has been making while giving feedback on Nexus 2007 in her blog and later on the Nexus wiki: “Very disappointing at Nexus today. Lo and behold, as always at events of such nature, girls are totally under represented! I wish I could see more girls, afterall, technology is what really makes the world continue to spin on its axis (in my opinion)… Get rid of the stigma that geeky is synonymous to an unwanted nerdy old maid… Also noticed even as panelists, women very under-represented, save for Stomp and Cnet Asia.”

    question is if we should do something about it and how?

    What do you think, Raine? I see that you have a post on a similar topic in your blog too. Geek Girls SG (based on GeekGirls in the USA)? Care to elaborate? You could include Estee, Rinaz, Tstar, I and many other Ping.sg members in your invitation list. ;-)

    By the way, in the US, there is a well-established (by now) conference called BlogHer where female bloggers (and their male friends) gather to bond and to share news, perspectives and insights. There’s also a Women of Web2.0 (WoW) group.

Hi! I love getting your comments, especially on-topic questions, opinions, experiences or insights. In fact, as Chris Brogan put it, "The more valuable your comments, the more it reflects on your ability and your character." Only then is it useful to build awareness of your brand. And if I'm impressed by your comment, I may write a post that links to some useful content on your blog. On the other hand, personal attacks (on anyone), inane comments, and advertorial comments (e.g. comments signed off with a product/service name and not a human name/nickname... read my rant here) will be deleted or sent to my Spam filter. (For off-topic messages, Contact Me or just "Shout".)

NOTE: Comments are moderated on a daily or even weekly basis here. If your comment does not appear immediately, there is no need to resubmit it.
