The #DataLadies of Twitter...
Inspired by the Webbiquity post called "The Nifty 50 Top Women of Twitter for 2011" and the #DataLadies hashtag I've been using to flag the DataGeeks of the kinder sex, I decided to compile a list of the #DataLadies I follow on twitter.
So, in no particular order, I present to you some of my favorite #DataLadies on twitter to follow...
@jilldyche Jill Dyché
Author, Presenter, Entrepreneur, Data Geek, Dog Rescuer - Jill is an all around fantastic person to keep an eye on.
@gwenthomasdgi Gwen Thomas
I can't think of anyone else out there who has worked so hard to make Data Governance as mainstream as Ms. Thomas. She is the founder of the Data Governance Institute which can be found at: http://www.datagovernance.com
@datachick Karen Lopez
Tweeting all the time about all things data and not-data, Karen is just a ton of fun to follow.

I haven't been following Ms. Mutschelknaus very long, but she's posting lots of good tweets and is most definitely worth adding to your follow list.
@tydak Patricia Bramhall
BI Gal, Ms. Bramhall tweets all things good for the #BI hashtag. If by chance at some point you need to use the data your managing, follow @tydak for some good ideas. Ms. Bramhall's own site is: http://www.tydak.com
@Datagrrl April Reeve
I have to attribute my favorite "recent" tweet to someone who said that Ms. Reeve told folks at her recent presentation that "She does data stuff", so awesome. April posts on her blog at http://thoughtsondata.com so take a peek.
@redjane Jane Roberts
Real life posts by Ms. Roberts are always fun to read from this Canadian member of the #DataLadies club.

Follow Ms. Wise, another #DataLady who tweets about actually "using" data. Also take a peek at her site: http://www.wiseanalytics.com

Another Canadian #DataLadies club member who is making data valuable (are we seeing a pattern?). Her blog can be found at: http://lovestats.wordpress.com
@RobinPStehlik Robin Stehlik
The heart of Rock 'N Roll isn't the only thing in Cleveland, so is Ms. Stehlik and her data related tweets.
@FirstSanFranMDM Kelle O'Neal
Ms. O'Neal's tweets are primarily about the "business" side of #MDM, very good to keep an eye on. Her website: http://www.firstsanfranciscopartners.com
@data_nerd Carla Gentry
Another "new" #DataLady I found recently, so far so good! Her website: http://www.analytical-solution.com

I'm sure I've missed a few fantastic #DataLadies out there and if you are one of them I'm sorry about that. If you've got suggestions for another member of the #DataLadies club please comment.
Until next time...Rich
