Attending the FTX

Chicas at the FTX

Today is the second day of the Feminist Tech Exchange (FTX) and I didn’t talk about it before because there was nothing to say, at least not enough to write home about. The little I had I posted on the FTX blog.

The FTX is a space for feminists (both women and men) to share experiences and knowledge in the use of technology for social justice. The space has different tracks and I’m attending the track that explores social networking tools for social justice.

So far it has been an interesting two days but it has also served to re-inforce my belief that there is too much information available on the internet and rather than being helpful is half the time confusing. However I have picked up a few things that I will use to make my blog look better and have much more visibility.

My other persistent thought has been re-inforced, the internet has a lot of things and if you look at everything, you will get confused so its about choosing what is relevant to your needs.

I will be posting more posts on technology and feminism, be on the look out!

Your chica…
