Thanks to +Ana Visneski for her writeup on "Flip the Media".
In case you weren't aware – I'm a 'one woman show' running +Women of Google+ and in the process of this week of updating the tutorials on YouTube!
My reasons for Women of Google+ are still the same as when I started over a year ago with the project. I've been in tech for 24 years and have seen a lot of change, but the one thing I know to be true is that when women come together to form a community and support each other, we ALL become stronger.
I am a digital explorer and entrepreneur and for me (and millions other people and businesses) Google+ has shown itself it be a solid and robust set of tools that allows US to communicate how we see fit.

hmmm (shaking the device with google+ client active) so you say there are some women here? (shaking it again, a bit harder)
Sounds interesting, what does it detail?
Hey what can I say +Lynette Young? I love Women of G+ and what it stands for.
That was a great initiative, +Lynette Young. Bravo.
(P.S.: when I think that I've been in "tech"/net for ahem 24… months.)
+Denis Labelle you are obviously much younger than me in years – whippersnapper – but not experience! 😉
Maybe just a late bloomer?
Cause I refuse to think I am old.
+Lynette Young : lol 😉
+Ana Visneski : a veeery late bloomer I am. What's great about the internet today is that people like me now can relate to technology. So much user friendly, allowing people with different talents but a little averse to tech, to blossom.
