In reality, women are attracted to men based on a combination of physical attributes and mental characteristics, never mind the deep pockets. http://xnews.posterous.com/how-to-get-women-attracted-to-you How to Get Women Attracted to You If you are one of the men who mistakenly believe that women are attracted only to gorgeous bodies, big bank accounts and a big attitude to match, then it is time to change your mindset.

I was meaning to mention the concept to some friends involved in the Women in Communications group here in Canberra - I'm not sure whether it is more a Web 2.0/unconference thing or a WIC/women in IT thing, not really my call I guess (apart from thinking that it would be good if it happened because I would like to go as a male observer). Cheers, Andrew Hi Leisa,

What a hot topic. I think generally, there are lots of woman entrepreneurs out there, I know a few of them here in Australia, online and offline. Don't worry about the 2web Crew, I think it's great that they are controversial and you know what I could proberly kick the footy just as good and if not better and at the same time pull a finger at a wolf whistle. But, seriously Women just wait until they have made it...I don't think I have made it yet, to my own expectations, but most of all I am enjoying connecting with my target market, that is what matters the most. However, I do believe in 'giving back', I realised this when spoke to 200 women aiming to influence them in the benefits of starting your own business. I am currently in the throws of setting up a tech conference, which one of the draw cards is women and tech. Woman in Tech just know how to play it with the boys, yet we don't need to shout it out, our actions say it the most - I remember the days when i was the only female in the office, with the guys networked and paying quake with ling hair. The tech sector has come along way, woman are just busy getting better and better - noteriety will come on it's own. Hey, Elisa, I'll see you at Blogher '06. The last time I was in San Jose, it was for SES (Search Engine Strategies) Conference, way back... Cheers, to the ladies. But, cheers to the boys as well for making it so interesting for us. For the 2web crew... What you don't know you don't know, what you seek to find out, will surprise you... Phew! What a hot topic.

I haven't been to one (yet!), and they sound great in some ways and a little messy in others. The big advantage is that you should be able to get something up and running fairly quickly that lots of people can participate in. The big question is whether or not Australia has the critical mass to pull something like this off - I think that's why we've been talking about pulling together all different streams who might *like* to do something, and do it all under the one banner. Rather than having *no* conferences (or one very boring one targetted at marketing people), we could get everyone who wants to have some kind of conference involved in a stream of an unconference... at least, that's my idea. (Eric, are you still listening? ... could be a possibility for an Aussie IA Summit too). Re: Ben's site. Someone, I can't remember who, described Ben's site to him as 'the digital equivalent of a web 2.0 mechanics shop' which is a very accurate description. That being the case, he is one of very few Aussie bloggers who get any bandwidth in the blogosphere who are willing to blog about it and draw some attention. If a chicks/Blogher stream or conference does get started then I'm pretty sure Ben's not going to want any part of heading that up... we *do* need someone who'd be willing to take that on tho, and that person should be a chick. Any takers? Another place to find some un-conference information is here:

(Also Trevor knows his onions, he has taught blogging to the library professional body, ALIA, and is at the forefront of PR blogging and Australian blogging in general.) I'm going with Shelley at this point. A tacked on women's session could be something of a mistake, especially if you feel underrepresented as Web 2.0 practitioners in the first place. Get out there with the guys? I don't know what the answer is. All I'm finding is how little time there is to write if you keep two blogs in two different subject areas...Glad Leisa has comment email going here though.
