Technology blogs for women by women

For his second install of his articles celebrating national blog posting month Jeff will focus on technology blogs for women by women. The world of technology has traditionally been male dominated and all the ads, tutorials, reviews and news has always reflected that almost ignoring the woman's point of view. With women now gaining ground by holding more technology jobs and buying more gadgets the woman's point-of-view is more important than ever.
The following is a list of Jeff's top blogs to follow:
  1. LadyGeek is contributed to by a staff of 5 talented women (Belinda Parmar, Lucie Sarif, Sabina Bhanndari, Joana Pereira and Caroline Hooper) and 2 talent men (Daniel Barlev and James Baker) that are out to make the world of technology more women friendly with their campaign against “pink it & shrink it”, interviews and tips from women in business and issue that concern women.
  2. The hacker chick is a great blog written by Abby Fichtner , a software developer, that talks about agile computing, programming, business and social media.
