One of the most heard complaints about Google Wave
If you’re a female, you also need to be careful about the men you meet online and share information with, as do we all I suppose. One Wave idea that should be a hit and help women meet other like-minded women via Google Wave™ is a Wave titled Women on Google Wave.
This Wave is described by the owner, Kate Kendall, as:
Welcome to the #wow (and yes, not the game!) wave. I decided to open this wave conversation to women in similar industries to myself to encourage discussion around women issues. The intention is not for it to be a feminist group or exclusive to females, but to just have a space, where the ratio of women to men is tipped to be the other way. I don’t pose to discuss particular issues but rather have the opportunity for general chat and see where it takes us. Please invite your wave contacts that might be interested in conversing.
Kate asks that women share there fast facts file about themselves, which include Name, Twitter name, Industry, Interests, Education and Challenges, as per Kate’s info:
Name: Kate Kendall Twitter: @KateKendall Industry: Publishing/Digital Interests: Strategy, social media, journalism, marketing, community, the web and tech. Education: BSc MB (Mktg) Challenges: Finding aspirational female role models, getting more females along to events such as @socialmelb, encouraging more females to get into (and succeed in) male-dominated disciplines (e.g. tech, programming/development, engineering, etc.) and finding female networking events that aren’t ‘fluffy’ or branded in pink!
This Wave is quite popular and has a significant number of women on it. If you are a woman looking to meet some like-minded women you are bound to find someone on here that share some similar interests, or experiencing similar challenges. Or, if you are just looking for more female contacts this is the place.
Many have linked there website in this Wave and there seems to be come effort to have a chat day when everybody tries to come on and they have one big chat-up.
For the most part this Wave has remained the realm of the ladies and there are very few guys. That is probably a good thing as others have mentioned that most of their Waves have been dominated by men (80%). I think this is good way for the Women on Google Wave to get together, without our noise, and try to figure out what Google Wave™ means (or doesn’t mean) to them.
So if you are a woman who would like to meet more Women on Google Wave. Go check this Wave out.
Make sure you come back here to tell is if it was helpful. Or, if you are already using this Wave give us your thoughts about how helpful you found this Wave.
