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.”

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.
