I just read a funny story over on Valleywag by one of the few females at the recent Digg parties, which really hit home how few female tech bloggers there are:
I’m walking upstairs and a guy i’ve never seen before pulls me aside with a panicked look on his face and goes: “AM I IN A GAY BAR??”
And i was like, “Um. No.”
And he was like “Are you SURE?”
And I said “Well maybe it is normally, but not tonight” — to which he says:
“Then why are you like the third woman i’ve seen?”
To which i replied, “Ohhhh, because it’s a DIGG PARTY!”
Apparently, he’d be dragged there by his friends and had no idea.
On my blog, I don’t have any regular female commenters. The closest I have is ‘Dan and Jennifer’, although Dan seems to do all the talking on the blog, although Jennifer has sent me the occasional email. I know there are lots of female bloggers out there, but why no tech bloggers?
