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?

Wow. What an explosion of loving awesomeness! Oh the memories. Yet as I think about this thread in relationship to the originating question, I can’t help but be reminded that...

The untold story of women and PoC impact is often how we knit things together in ways that boys can capitalize off of for $$.

technology being only the latest place where this happens; thinking of all those 'thanks to my wife for doing my maths proofs' thesis intros

Oh, Mary! That gets a gold star for first coffee spit-take of my morning. 😜 Turning it around: AS IF my nerdy medical husband could care to have taught #CSS specificity. He DID make a hella cup of coffee to send me on my workday way and was always supportive. That alone is rare.

the thanks for typing are bad enough (I bet the typists also fixed spelling, grammar & incomplete sentences for them) but proofs in math! ;)

Hence the spit-take. The "proofs in maths" rammed the point right on home where it needed to go. #LadiesOG I'm impressed - longest overtly positive mass conversation with meaning and purpose Twitter has seen in a very long time.

See that's the thing. We should be writing our own history.

Folks were talking about number of followers. I follow almost everyone back in industry. I'm sure if you have a career and life you don't want to hear my invalid complaints. But why aren't we following each other to start with? Bump up or shuddup? (j/k but amiright?)

Here's a video I made telling my origin story in tech for Women's Internet History Project: youtube.com/-v4U7bvHIdE - We are all media savvy women. Collectively, we can unite our voices, tell our stories, weave them together and leave more than a trace. Impact. No fear.

Brava Aliza. And yes, so much this. I think Jen Simmons and a few others brought up the issue of Wikipedia bios and ethical means of starting to do this for one another seems a good "do" project that would have far-reaching benefits. With WaSP we had focus Task Forces. It helped!

Making sure you amazing ladies know I threw together this survey to query interest in a Jan 25 SF meetup, a Palm Springs reunion later in the year and reconnecting our community. Please take it and share. Thanks: surveymonkey.com/r/OGwebgrrl…
