I’m glad to see this post. I find it frustrating finding other female bloggers in this industry. I’m especially trying to find some in Atlantic Canada. I’ve been running a random gender poll on my blog and the ratio has been approx. 25% women/75% men.
Some other Canadian female blogs I like:

Hey Lisa,
Thanks for your additions to this list! Your blog (http://www.mesheast.com/) is great too!
On an interesting side note, Maggie Fox runs the Toronto Girl Geek dinners (www.torontogirlgeekdinners.ca). Kate Trgovac was a guest speaker at their November ‘07 event.
Something else I was thinking about.
I wonder if you could do a post about twitter and those on twitter could comment with our twitter names? I know I follow Maggie Fox and Connie Crosby and others. But it would be neat to create a Women 2.0 twitter list to place in the sidebar and find others that some of us may not be following. I did that with an Atlantic Canada twitter list.
What do you think?
That’s a great idea! I will totally do that for my next post. We were talking about Twitter at our Jan 24th Women 2.0 Ottawa meetup and there was interest about learning more…thanks for suggesting!
