Geek Chicks - The NY Times says it's so
I just saw this article in the NY Times Geek Chic: Not Just for Boys. And it was perfect. As the title suggest, more girls are getting into technology – Girls have made the blogosphere their own. Girls are very comfortable with blogs and actively embrace the medium and the design and storytelling it goes with it. More girls than boys have sites, though boys seem more into posting videos of themselves to You Tube, while girls are out there building and nurturing a community. The whole article is well worth a read, but I thought I would pull out some of the sites and girls featured there so you could check out their work for yourselves.
