Maryam Ghaemmaghami Scoble
I enjoyed the delightful experience of discovering Maryam Ghaemmaghami Scoble (a Gem!) via Sarah Blow's Girly Geekdom November 30th post regarding the recent (and Hugely Successful!) London Girl Geek Dinners 9.
FYI Sarah Blow is a talented young UK software engineer, Founder of London Girl Geek Dinners and Barcelona Girl Geek Dinners, and... my friend and "ethos of blogging" mentor.
Maryam's London Girl Geek Dinners presentation (captured on video by some thoughtful soul) captured my heart as she spoke of her thoughts and emotions about entering the world of blogging. I highly recommend this lovely video to everyone interested in blogging and the blogosphere, especially for those wondering if they ought to give blogging a try.
I loved Maryam's honesty, good humor and openness so much that over the weekend I decided to go on a Maryam video search to see if I could discover other videos and... YAHOO!
My initial video interview discoveries quickly revealed that Maryam is a major supporter of Magnificient Women! and their Magnificent Journeys!
The first video (Outstanding!) interview with Betsy Aoki... The ever so talented and Magnificent! Woman! who formerly led efforts behind the MSDN blog network and is now leading Microsoft's Q & A search engine who speaks openly and sincerely about developing communities online, being a girl geek, the Microsoft culture and so much more.
The second (Outstanding!) video interview with Liz Lawley... Social Computing professor at Rochester University and Magnificent! Woman! as she speaks about her time working at Microsoft research, the future of social software, why she thinks there are few women following in math and computer sciences and why she likes playing video games with her sons.
Maryam' blog, Maryam Ghaemmaghami Scoble's musing about Life, Love and Everything Else... is well worth reading, and Maryam often includes links to her (Outstanding!) video interviews.
Let's raise a glass (Champagne of course!) to Maryam Ghaemmaghami Scoble... A Magnificent Woman! with a Magnificent Journey!
Oh Joy!
