I have to honestly say I haven’t really paid a whole lot of attention to the gender of who is writing the articles I read these days. The truth is that what social media I do consume is mostly in micro-blogging like Twitter or aggregators like Friendfeed where often I just see small names and pictures… and it all merges into a blur, really, and I guess in so many ways I just don’t really consider gender (or race or age) relevant… if an article is interesting, I’ll read it.
Yet as I look at a lot of the blogs I read (when I actually have a chance to do so), I do have to admit that my current list in my RSS reader is overwhelmingly male.
So it was interesting to see NxE’s Fifty Most Influential ‘Female’ Bloggers come out. A few of the bloggers listed are in fact ones that I subscribe to…. and there are predictably several female bloggers I subscribe to who are not on this list (it is, after all, only 50). Regardless, it’s a good list of interesting people. I like how the compiler of the list formatted it with information about the blogger, a picture and “Why She Matters”. Nicely done. There’s a lot of great folks on there who deserve the attention and credit for all they’ve been doing…
