There was a piece in the WSJ on Friday about the dearth of women in tech and women entrepreneurs. We've been talking about this issue here on AVC and I was quoted in the WSJ piece:
“From successes come role models and from the role models come change,” said Union Square Ventures’ Mr. Wilson, who recently called for more diversity in the start-up world.
In the article, Rachel Sklar took a bit of a swipe at TechCrunch and Mike Arrington did not like that one bit.
He just posted a long rant on the issue on the TechCrunch blog. And guess what? He is using Disqus to host the comments to that post.
I would love to see this community join that conversation. I find the comment threads at TechCrunch to be a very different experience to what we have here at AVC. Maybe we can inflitrate and influence those discussions a bit. Maybe we can start with this issue.
I just did my part. I love commenting via Disqus. And I am so excited to see it on TechCrunch.
