1. So here’s some good news

    Results of the latest audience survey conducted by Women 2.0 show that the percentage of the site’s users who identify as founders has doubled since their last inquiry in 2008—25% then to 50% now. If one allows the assumption that some of the same women completed the survey both times, this finding suggests that a number of women who were “thinking about entrepreneurship” in 2008 actually followed through and started something in the last few years.

    Other insights from the survey include that the Women 2.0 audience has expanded past San Francisco (where the organization is based); 54% of users are now outside the Bay area. Audience interests have shifted from networking to predominantly education and funding.
