Women's Contributions

I was interested to learn about Caterina Fake, one of the co-founders of the Flickr photosharing website. Two people chose her to talk about so that shows she has been very influential.

Amy did a presentation on her as did Becky.

I was interested to learn that not only is she highly educated, but her interest in the Internet began with an interest in gaming. I guess I usually stereotype online gamers as men, so it's a nice surprise to learn that women also enjoy gaming online. It was good to learn that Fake is also working on her new project, called Hunch. It proves that knowledge around the Internet is constantly updating and evolving.
