10 Women Who Secretly Control the Internet

Ariana Huffington absent? Color me confused!

Chicks can work computers ?

There are lots of women doing lots of great things in the world. Men don’t say “top 10 men who secretly control the internet”. Confused why people of any gender, ethnicity, or lifestyle would do this. We are all humans and I don’t see the world coming together if we continue to segregate what people are accomplishing by putting them into their own “groups”. If there are injustices in the world, lets talk about that instead of continuing to segregate one another.

Yeah, another lame attempt at harvesting user clicks. Put all the material on ONE page, or forget about it.

No infosec geek girls? Or grey/blackhats? They truly run the Internet.

Just want to say, I’m a Virginian, and some of us did know about girls on the net, and facepalm when people say otherwise.

Apparently not. There were only two real techs on the list, one of whom was an electrical engineer who didn’t have anything to do with the internet. The rest were managers. We’ve known for a while that chicks can boss people around.

What privilege is being denied? Not sure I understand. It would have been funny if it pertained to my statement.

This is absolutely stupid, there’s only ONE woman who actually works on the internet in this whole bit. The rest of them are either hucksters or developers who just use the internet.
Where is Ren Provo? Where is Stacey Hughes? Where is Abha Ahuja?

Duh, hello? Of course there are women on the internet – and, BTW, the internet isn’t actually controlled by any one entity or particular gender, contrary to the belief among spammers. So there are girls on the net, big freaking deal. And this passes for a story? Sheesh. Note to Geekolinks, please, get over the gender stuff already.

No Marissa Mayer?

Women are evil…but something amazing.

I’d explain it, but it’s not my job to educate you.

What women benefit from the success of TheMarySue, LLC website?

Wow.. Really? I’m sixteen and I get the reference.

“Eight-year-old Virginia O’Hanlon wrote a letter to the editor of New York’s Sun, and the quick response was printed as an unsigned editorial Sept. 21, 1897.”- Newseum
The second paragraph begins with the iconic phrase, “Yes, Virginia. There is a Santa Claus.”

I thought of Ms Huffington too, but then realized it says “secretly” in the title. :)

…and all of which have a face fit for radio, or in this case internet radio.

It is one of most misogynist titles ever. No, most of this woman doesn’t “control” internet. No, there’s nothing special about being a female in IT. If there’s a group of women that secretly controls Internet, I doubt there would be round number of them and that they would be keen to reveal their identities.

Shouldn’t you be having dinner with Ambrams or slicing of the genitals of a 5 year old boy?

Where the hell is Marissa Mayer? She’s only THE primary operations head behind the largest search engine in the world. How does Heather Horde or even Carol Bartz on this list and Marissa is not?

Oo, a penis troll! We sure haven’t seen these before!

Since when is yahoo still relevant?

Perhaps the title for this post should be 10 white women who secretly control the internet.

Right, because the internet is just bits and apps – no overwhelming social influence or media distribution or education programs here! Only code users can influence the internet! Lolz!

Male privilege = “I don’t see a problem, therefore there isn’t one”. Morwen’s right that it’s not our job to educate you on basic facts, but I’m feeling nice so I’ll link you to Feminism 101. http://finallyfeminism101.wordpress.com/2007/03/11/faq-what-is-male-privilege/

Cool, limor fried got on here! I don’t really see how she’s in control of the internet, but she’s certainly pretty awesome.

Um, Marissa Mayer?

OOo! I woman who makes a statement with nothing to back it up! I haven’t seen one of those before. Seriously, evaluate the comment or GTFO.

Took me two weeks to stumble upon that page :) That’s very sweet of you (though I never controlled anything… Wikipedia is beyond control… that’s why it’s cool). You made my day :)
