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 didn’t cofound Barcamp (just was active in helping spread it), but yes Coworking. :) Also: @mholzschlag @IdentityWoman @Caterina @ElisaC @ginatrapani @alizasherman @lynnjohnson @debs @alevin @doctorparadox @xeni @JoryDJ ...there are more!

Thanks Tara for the shout out. I founded the Internet Identity Workshop -> it’s still going and we are finally winning! Also @heathr @ultrasaurus @sarahmei @digitalsista @blogdiva @MaryHodder @zephoria

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

This article came out in 1997. I had already started the first WoC web firm. Two years later I would form Digital Sisters/as the very first organization to get women and girls of color online and in tech.

This conversation about diversity in tech has a lot people talking now but from my view the fact that we are having this conversation right now means we haven't gone that far in understanding tech history.
