Have you seen the W List (blogs authored by women)?
W List Beginnings
Dubbed a “list of great blogs by women,” the W-list concept was developed by Valeria Maltoni who started the list with Kami Huyse’s Top 20 PR Power Women, which was extracted from ToddAnd’s Power 150 Top Marketing Blogs. Kami’s list analysis revealed the lopsided ratio of male-to-female bloggers and, thus, the first iteration of the W List was born. As the list replicated and grew with varying versions, Krishna De further organized the effort by adding links and alphabetization. Toby Bloomberg announced the availability of the W List on Facebook.
UPDATE: Special thanks to Carolyn Townes for creating the W List wiki – now it’s even easier to spread the word!
During the pre-Internet days, I often wondered what would happen if women around the globe had the ability to collaborate and communicate as one voice. The W List is a solid first step toward achieving that reality. Today I am in awe as I witness firsthand this development on the Web – with its creatively constructed, intelligently designed, powerfully strong – yet ethereal – ties that bind.
I look forward to the W List’s continued growth on a global scale (a World-Wide Women’s List?). In the meantime, cheers and thanks to all of you who’ve created, developed, supported and contributed to this potent force and tremendous resource: The W List (with my 3 additions at the top of the list).
