Women Still Underrepresented on Alists

Posted on March 30, 2006

Kami Huyse at Overtone Communications blogs that only 10% of the blogs in the Top 50 spots on the Technorati 100 have women bloggers. It looks like she left out Cute Overload #38 by Megan Frost but that still only makes 12%. She also checked out the top 50 positions on the PR category list provided by PubSub.com and found women make up just 10% of that list as well. Here are the five that were in the top 50.

(15) New Communications Blogzine, Jennifer McClure

(20) Communications Overtones, Kami Huyse

(22) KD Paine's Measurement Blog, Katie Paine

(33) The Right Conversation, Amy Gahran

(43) Contentious, Amy Gahran

Kami said, "I was floored. In an industry where women make up the bulk of the workforce, we were woefully under-represented in the top ranks of the PR Blogs." Kami also pointed to this list of women PR bloggers.
