A few weeks ago AlwaysOn posted "The Lack of Women in Tech," it's an interesting read and includes a few articles that discuss some of the issues in the tech field about these challenges. Challenges that I have been fully aware of as a techie who speaks across the country about this issue. The article is a good read and has some resources you should check out.
 

The challenges with the social web and the aggregation of content is that there isn't a simple way to do it at this point. There are a lot of social media tools and various apps but they may not all be connected to you. Here is an example:

In the beginning of web design the title of "Web Master" was given to any one who was considered to be managing and producing the content on any site. These titles changed as teams were built around web sites. 

As one of the original web designers everyone using the term master assumed the designer was a man. I didn't agree with this stereotype. The alternative choices were "Web Mistress" which I also didn't agree with because a mistress was a word I considered to be below the master concept. Mistress was in my mind considered a fling, non committed & other ideas that flew through my head at the time. I chose "Web Goddess" instead. 

My early years were built around all of the stereotypes one might imagine, as a child born a couple of years after the death of Martin Luther King Jr., in the projects of Harlem. My mother divorced my father when I was five and became a "single mom," raising her children in what some considered the ghettos of New York City. This could be a long story, but I won't repeat it here. These early years are not about the stereotypical life I had, it IS about "the secret life" of Geekette '84, who later becomes @digitalsista.
