- wassim2k, on 11/10/2008, -9/+58Dear dumbass web content developer at fastcompany.com; why is the thumbnail of each girl not next to hear name? Why do we have to keep going back to page 1 (of 4) to match the photo with the order of the name in the list? That is if the order matches the thumbnail, which I doubt it does by the level of talent you display. Douche.
- conkeso, on 11/10/2008, -4/+51Oh *****! women!, say something witty or funny, be interesting crap crap crap I'm sweating...
I like turtles - MakanGuru, on 11/10/2008, -17/+63Huffington, seriously?
I lean left, but seriously Huffpo is becoming the Fox News of the web imo and it's getting irritating as hell - cgibbo, on 11/10/2008, -7/+42Probably done by a woman.
- inactive, on 11/10/2008, -5/+37I on the behalf of all the lazy diggers,salute these successful women.
- analogkid01, on 11/10/2008, -52/+82Gender is irrelevant. Buried.
- Captaffy, on 11/10/2008, -2/+32Any time anyone mentions Leah Culver ("lead developer and a founder of social networking site Pownce") as some sort of female programming wunderkind, I just think of this blog post of hers - http://leahculver.com/2007/04/19/star-ratings/. Anyone that programs will slam their palm in to their forehead and then vow to never use Pownce after reading that.
(Fun fact: She had that blog post set to private for quite a while after the initial hilarity surrounding it surfaced, so kudos to her for making it public again.) - cgibbo, on 11/10/2008, -31/+61Kitchen 1.1
- cgibbo, on 11/10/2008, -11/+31Yeah! Especially when it comes to making babies and stuff.
- pufferfisch, on 11/10/2008, -15/+35It's great to know many of the services I use everyday were developed at least in part by women. These are great role models for girls.
- wizkid32, on 11/10/2008, -5/+24Where is Sara Lane, Molly Woods, or Natalie and Veronica Belmont.
- Barackalypse, on 11/10/2008, -4/+22Why is it that nearly every one of these "most influential women" have the phrase "co-founder" in their bio? Couldn't they find half a dozen who were actually the sole driving force of something important? Huffington aside, I haven't heard of any of these women before, and I've only heard of roughly half the products that they are involved in. I'm surprised some more visible names like Morgan Webb or Veronica Belmont didn't make this list.
- jfein, on 11/10/2008, -8/+25I know I'll get buried for showing my feminist-flair, but come on...we all know it SHOULDN'T matter, but we all know it does. Yes, in an ideal world, I do agree with you...and gender roles are a social construct, blah blah blah....but that doesn't change the fact that women were, in the past, not allowed to do anything like this and thought to be unable to do so. It's occasionally nice to celebrate and recognize the ever-developing change.
Bring on the woman jokes now, come on guys... - inactive, on 11/10/2008, -4/+20Buried for "Web 2.0"
Jesus. Shut the ***** up. - TheCoreh, on 11/11/2008, -2/+17What the ***** is a woman?
- conkeso, on 11/10/2008, -0/+14Wow that code of hers is full of FAIL
- kernel16, on 11/10/2008, -10/+23Dugg me down for being a sexist, but:
"Recognizing market potential in the primordial instinct to ogle (and be olged), Cyan Banister, co-founder of Zivity.com, turned the Hot-Or-Not phenomenon into a profit-making enterprise as well as an online community. For a subscription of $10 a month, members can vote on -- and connect with -- their favorite models, who submit their own photos and get 40% of the proceeds."
WTF! LMAO, only a chick can come up with this *****, and only other chicks would pay for this *****. - JessicaGottlieb, on 11/11/2008, -4/+17I'm stunned that calling a group of women successful is somehow seen as a sexist act.
It's a little embarrassing ladies. - fuzzy889, on 11/10/2008, -6/+19What the ***** is Web 2.0?
- inactive, on 11/10/2008, -3/+15Great women and great sites represented here
- inactive, on 11/10/2008, -5/+17Especially when it comes to creating things with computers. It's ironic that the internet offers anonymity of not only identity but of gender as well.. and your comment is being dug down. I guess people don't like it when they can't tell if someone is male or female because then they can't apply their prejudices. You would think people would want gender to be irrelevant.. but I guess not.
- inactive, on 11/10/2008, -9/+19In all honesty I was expecting a bunch of porn stars. Thank you for proving me wrong. It's sad that that's the first thing I thought it was going to be...but hey, most of you diggers are a bunch of horny men.
- Kali7Studio, on 11/11/2008, -11/+20the sadest part is reading the comments from the men. don't worry boys, rape, sexism, tunnel vision, and war, the rest of the already planet knows you are best at those things, you can at least let women get some kudos for something! No? Another trait rears its head then.
- zoydberg, on 11/11/2008, -14/+21not the chicks from 2 girls 1 cup?
- StinkyWizlteats, on 11/10/2008, -1/+8Amber Mac? Cute & knows her stuff, and a lot of nerds owe her for promoting their projects.
- crashfaster, on 11/11/2008, -1/+7cyan FTW. she just might be the most awesome lady in tech.
- tolgafiratoglu, on 11/10/2008, -5/+11http://pownce.com/ => Alexa 155K, is it a great success?
- inactive, on 11/10/2008, -14/+18Why should the gender of people who create services make a different to you..? You do realise, choosing a role model because the person has the same genitals as you (which is a pure accident of birth) do, is not only retarded but also extremely sexist.
- cgibbo, on 11/10/2008, -11/+153rd one from the left on the bottom row: wat
- tolgafiratoglu, on 11/11/2008, -0/+4How old are you fuzzy889?
- Lambeco, on 11/12/2008, -1/+4Come on now, Digg, we talked about this! When Huffington Post is over, you're supposed to be on your BEST BEHAVIOR. No dessert tonight, and you're to be in bed by 8pm. NO BUTS, MISTER.
http://digg.com/tech_news/Sexist_Sexist_and_More_S ... - Xondar, on 11/12/2008, -2/+5HiffPo is a blog.
You know what that means right? The vast majority of posts on there are opinion pieces. They don't claim otherwise, they don't call themselves "fair and balanced," they don't call themselves "news."
Seriously, you can't compare HuffPo to Fox "News." - seantubridy, on 11/10/2008, -5/+8I don't understand why people are burying your comment. Oh, yeah, I do. Sexism.
- inactive, on 11/12/2008, -0/+3kernel panic
- jonnyboy88, on 11/12/2008, -0/+3Dugg for Dvorak reference.
- GothAlice, on 11/12/2008, -2/+5Hmm. Let me think. 95% of the large Web 2.0 projects (or hell, web projects in general) are large enough that to start they have more than one developer? I'm working on two (large web projects, not necessarily '2.0') where I will be a co-founder. Both will have two female co-founders. One will have a small mexican house-boy. (Sorry, Dante, but you're out of the project. We need to meet a new demographic.)
- fuzzy889, on 11/11/2008, -1/+4That's stupid.
- tolgafiratoglu, on 11/11/2008, -1/+4social data & media over web. Digg is a social bookmarking project so it's a web 2.0 project.
- jsmithers, on 11/11/2008, -3/+5Seconded
- wingedkat, on 11/12/2008, -1/+3Its not so much that Leah is a programming whiz, but that she has the charisma, artistic sense and drive to make herself noticed. There are plenty of good female programmers out there, but there's a reason for the stereotype of programmers being shy and asocial, and its just as true for women as men.
That's why its so amazing when someone like Leah shows up. She's getting attention for her projects in a way that the rest of us can't, no matter what how amazing our programming skills are. She has what it takes to get noticed, and what she brings to her projects is more valuable than the most efficient piece of code. After all, code only has to work to do its job, but a project needs to be used by people before its successful. - MrChunks, on 11/11/2008, -0/+2It's the internet tubes made of smelly French cheese.
- migshark, on 11/12/2008, -0/+2Crossout "chicks" and replace it with "vain" and I'd agree with you. Dugg anyway 'coz that's a daft business enterprise, regardless of its income.
- MrChunks, on 11/11/2008, -0/+2Camembert over IP
- Testiculese, on 11/12/2008, -1/+2Age is irrelevant. It's still stupid. It's a meme of it's own.
