I have a twitter account that I don’t use, but I unofficially follow people sometimes* and I appreciate a lot of the women on this list very much, especially the ‘political nerds’. And Ariel Schrag. I probably appreciate most of them and just don’t know it yet.

Also, I declare @ConanOBrien an honorary #ladygeek:

“I just ran into Ellen DeGeneres on the Warner Bros lot and we played ping pong. I think she’s really into me.”

“Just got the new iPad. This amazing device has already revolutionized the way I use a calculator.”

I guess I just wanted to share that first one ’cause it really amused me. But, he has also mentioned Gaga and had/has some sort of ‘feud’ with Bieber so… there you go.

* Fact: social networking terms are intended to make me/you/everyone we know feel severely creepy/unstable… rightly so, I say. ))((.

Excellent, I’ll check her out! I know he isn’t a #ladygeek, but do you follow/listen to Jonathan Coulton?

If you’re my kind of tweetgeek, and you seem to be , I strongly recommend @mariancall. She’s an indie singer-song writer who’s an amazing geek. She did an entire cd with songs based on Firefly or BSG, fangirls over NPR, chats with fans constantly and is just incredibly adorkable (I’m very glad someone else uses that term!). Plus she’s about to embark on a self-run driven tour of all 50 sates, so I’m sure her tweets are about to get really interesting!

“Haha! Just found a first draft of the only fanmail I’ve ever written, a thank you letter to @nathanfillion. It amuses me now. 11:53 PM Apr 27th via web “

@ginatrapani will tell you more about google than you ever needed to know and is currently doing awesome things in the non-profit/government world (http://smarterware.org/5187/thinktank-is-now-at-expert-labs). She was also the founding editor of Lifehacker, and occasionally offers tweets like:

“guilty pleasure: dropping the “my wife” bomb on unsuspecting straight people, mid-conversation.”

@zephoria is a brilliant researcher at Microsoft Research New England who studies digital culture (addressing things like racial divides between facebook and myspace and the troubles with bullying on Formspring). She has also hosted an Ani Difranco lyrics site for more than a decade, which is irrelevant but wonderful.

Omg you guys don’t know taco fries? They are the reason I go out on a Saturday night, well apart from all the gays.

I just realised that taco fries are one of those non photogenic foods.

@kellyoxford is hilarious. I’m not sure she’s a geek, but everyone should follow her anyways!
