For a pet project, I'm looking to list out some women who were active and influential in the web from 1995-2002, and not coming up with very many. Enlighten me, please?

Social media expert @missrogue, active then and who later co-founded barcamps and the co-working movement.

I was tagged as part of this thread by @BAoki with connections to @huny I have a separate thread based on Huny's comments. So let me add @nmsanchez and then give my connection to the history in that time.

Anita Brown is no longer with us and I miss her a bunch. She started Black Geeks online. History in tech doesn't continue to repeat her name but hey thanks to Google books some of you can catch up. books.google.com/books?id=el… p. 39

Black Enterprise

Anita passed? OMG I didn't know, lost in the fray of other losses and tragedies of our past years. She was an inspiration and I'm sad to hear this. Where are the women indeed. :(

Yes, quite some time ago. I was fortunate to attend her funeral but there wasn't much national attention on the pain or the loss of her input in our story.

I'm truly bereft to find this out. I wish I had known. I was in my own hell. It's no excuse. In fact, it's the heart of the problem. We have no true Commons of Equity in the world much less industry.

i have to tag @mamitamala in this convo. we've been informally talking about creating a kind of "Latino History of the Web" and for years i've said there's a huge need for an oral history of the indie (aka non-corporate) web/social media.
