More women on Userati
Nice to see that Chris McEvoy has added more women to the Userati list. I don't know whether this is in response to my earlier comments (read 'rant') on this blog and those of David Crow - who then created a fat list of links to influential HCI women on his blog - but recent Userati additions include Rosalind Pickard, Gitte Lindgaard, Karen Holtzblatt, and Marti Hearst. No Bonnie Nardi yet though...or Lucy Suchman.

On a different note, Chris's aim of setting up the list as a way of getting more usability people to talk to each other may well be having results. In my own case, although I already knew some on the list, I made contact with William Hudson (Oxford) and Tom Smith (London) partly through seeing more of their professional profile through the list, and this week I met William in the flesh for the first time. In fact, there were at least four Userati (a billing of? a glut of? a grumble of?) at this week's UK UPA meeting in London - or at least imbibing in the pub afterwards. I'd be interested to hear if anyone else is exploring similarly...
