One of the questions Ponzi asked me during a webcast interview was, "Why is there a need for a separate conference for women bloggers?"

I am not sure of the reasons - I have some hunches - but the preliminary data suggests for whatever reasons, a gap exists.

As a co-moderator for the on-line portion of the Blogher Conference, I met Ponzi on line. She subsequently interviewed me for the Chris Pirillo Show and I got even more tied onto the ongoing conversations around blogging and where world of the internet is going.

I was not familiar with IT Conversations until the Blogher Conference of 2005 when my business partner, and Drupal maven, Laura Scott, sent me some links to it.
