"wow my sarcastic story conversation got a lot of comments. Clarifications; 1. Soldiers sign up for military service with the ideal that they are fighting for their country, protecting freedoms, keeping citizens safe etc etc. 2. Weather or not this war is about defending freedom...well we all know where those discussions go. Bottom line; wars are shit. Any war is a big pile of shit that somebody is probably making money off of the death of a lot of people. If it isn't happening in your neighboorhood be glad. 3. The Airlines might want to look the other way when it comes to that extra baggage fee for the soliders. Many Airlines have filled Bankruptcy and when you file bankruptcy you are not just announcing that you have no money. Everyone already knows that. When you file bankruptcy you are filing for bankruptcy protection. Who is proteting big business as it files for bankruptcy? Big government. 4. The Airlines may just want to re evaluate their entire business plan. Airlines else..."

"Airline: "Sir, that will be an additional 100.00 for that extra baggage." Soldier: "But this is the offical armed forces issued M-16 that I will use to defend FREEDOM abroad and at home. This is what I will be doing for the next year while I am not hugging my kids and not sleeping with my spouse...." Airline: "Sir. Are we going to have an incident? Do we need to call security for suspicion of terrorism? Just pay the extra fee or I can't let you take the extra baggage." Soldier: "I guess I have to pay the fee. It is like you have us at gunpoint.""

"It sounds like these Corporations have a sweet deal. If only I could figure out how to earn my salary in Euros but spend it like Peruvian Soles ($0.30 soles = $1.00 USD = 1.50 Euros) and also have my standard of living increase. Oh, and if I could file for Bankruptcy protection on top of all that and have nothing change except buying more gadgets as my spending increases. Maybe then I could catch up to these Corporations....."

Boo...No Sarah Perez or Corvida. But congrats to the ones I do follow: Veronica Belmont, Gina Trapani, Emily Chang, Leah Culver, & Justine Ezarik.
- Mark Krynsky
There's always a few missing on these lists (especially niche bloggers including the above ... Ann Smarty, and Shana Albert) but this is an incredibly good list (with descriptions). Well worth exploring!
- Charlie Anzman
Ditto Mark, plus congrats to our Tamar, and Amber MacArthur as well (fan of her stuff as well) - finally a list of females in tech and blogging that doesn't involve "sexiest" or "nakedest."
- Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
No Natali Del Conte either. Seems more like a "Female Bloggers Influential To Other Females" list. Not so much a list of bloggers that have appeal to men and women, except for some like Gina, Veronica, Cali, etc.
- Jim Bergman
Well Female bloggers usually gets 'popularity' faster...but nice list.
- Saad Kamal
This reminds me that had I not given up on the first blog I started back in 98, maybe I'd be on this list. But I don't have the drive and passion these very worthy women have! Congrats to you, Veronica and all on the list! More importantly, keep doing what you do, because it is important and valuable.
- Shawna Benson
What an impressive list! Quite a few I follow already, but nice to have some more to check out.
- Sally Church
ok which one s/we get Playboy to cover ? Remember TC's post of late ?
- Peter Dawson
Why does there have to be a separate list for most influential male/female bloggers? Why not just a list for the 50 or 100 most influential bloggers? Why the gender distinction?
- Michael Tefft
After posting about the bikinibloggers of Urlesque & the wish for naked bloggers of Playboy at http://www.aboutblank.nl it was worthwile to pay some attention to influential female bloggers. Really influential, I'm talking about. But why do all these American sites pay so much atttention female bloggers, I wonder. So sudden, I mean.
- Ton Zijp
whole story is suspect due to claim that blogging pair coined term "fugly" - WTF! :-)
- Deva Hazarika
What does it have to do with America, Ton Zijp?
- Andy DeSoto
Andy, just that the attention is there so suddenly, in such a way that they all make a list (20 bloggers Urlesque wants to see in bikini, 9 Playboy wants to see naked, 50 really influential according to N x E). I follow news about weblogs worldwide, I publish about it daily, so for me it's really surprising that in just a few days all these sites are concentrating at female bloggers. I don't take conclusions on that, but it really surprises me. July = bikinimonth? Like Urlesque said?

I know a few, and have a few others in my rss reader. But this blog post is screaming for an OPML.

nice resource, re: formatteddad's comment- as long as there is no bias or exclussion. anything that brings more voices to the conversation- the better! sometimes we need to identify the voices that might not be getting the BIG exposure.

Ok, trying FF as well. Still like twitter and will be sad if I have to leave it

Like Napoleon's army after the defeat in Moscow, straggling west, fleeing the hideous frozen hell, we are moving into the (for me, at least) unknown...
- Dave LaFontaine
It seems to me this is kind of a moot point. You draw those who follow you into your convesation and if someone makes a comment that continually intriques you all you have to do is simply subscribe to their ff. No need to wage a big dick contest with numbers of followers here. Its all about the conversation. Just an observation at this point.. I'm just now starting the migration from twitter to FF myself;-)

Just subscribed to you, feel free to follow back!
- KyleM
Hi Jason, thanks in advance for the follow.
- Larry Kless
Yes please - it is a challenge how to parallelize your twitter connections on FriendFeed. They really need a good import interface with automatic notifications via DM back to twitter followers.
- Jed White
Great stuff Jason, fan of your work. It would be great to have a Twitter/FriendFeed contact sync application. I'm sure you know some peeps to make that happen. =D
- Grahm Skee
Just discovered friendfeed. Pretty cool stuff.
- George Gray
I'll simply cite Rob Clark, who so eloquently put it: "I believe you're already subscribed to me, but now you can be double-secret-subscribed..." ;-)
