Women in Web 2.0 Edit

Perhaps because web 2.0 is supposedly about people (social networks, crowdsourcing, etc), women are more prominent in this field than in many others in the technology industry. However, women in web 2.0 are often marginalised, pigeonholed into certain roles or subject areas, or considered invisible in others.
