Help Scoble Find Women (well, for Team 99, anyway...)
Are you a tech savvy woman blogger who has something to say about Microsoft's upcoming Longhorn release? Tell Scoble. He's looking for women -- to be part of a feedback team. "Where are the women?
My two bits? Women will represent a signficant consumer segment. This is not about parity, but about getting the representation that provides market data. This is why diverse voices make for better products, not political correctness. But it seems finding these voices is tough. So if you qualify, go nominate yourself. Me? I know enough technology to be dangerous. (Ask me about how I did just about everything wrong when I started this blog!) Dang, I can find bugs. I'm good at that. But I suspect I would not speak the language!
Thousands of people have visited the Team 99 thread over on Channel 9. Dozens of people have been nominated. One problem, though. Almost all of them are men.
Are there no women who can be nominated for Channel 9? I nominate one: Dori Smith.
Any others? Leave the nomination here on Channel 9."
