There are some great women in tech that I follow on Twitter or read their blogs. After reading two related stories today I decided to write a post on the women I read regularly. TwitterGrader just published a Top 100 Women on Twitter, and Engadget also published a list "Who should I follow on Twitter" Here is my list in no particular order.
