"Just two hours a week!" my friend Anna swore over beers when asking me to volunteer for Webgrrls. "It will be worth it," she promised. Well, Anna's a big, fat liar. I spend a hell of a lot more than two hours weekly with Webgrrls, but she was correct when she said it would be time well spent. This group has become the best resource for my high tech life.
I don't buy any computing book, peripheral, software, or hardware, or take any class, without first posting to the list and absorbing the collective wisdom. Webgrrl membership provides an instant, educated network of women who can answer any technical or product question, make recommendations for Internet tools, or offer career advice.
Webgrrls is like Girl Scouts for techie chicks, a great thread of professionals stretching across the globe. We are cliquey and tight-knit, but we're not exactly Freemasons. I've met hordes of other like-minded women, tapped an active knowledge database, and found work, friends, and answers. I guess I can forgive Anna.
