Over on Jamie Burke's blog, a conversation has been sparked about who's who among female social media experts in the UK, and the result is that this week a contest he's initiated will elect five women as the UK's top social media gurus.
The idea got started when Brand Republic's editor Gordon MacMillan put out a request on Twitter asking for suggestions for female social media speakers for an upcoming conference, and Jamie and I helped suss out who people think the top women in social media are. So far more than 20 women have been named to the list, which will be voted on this Thursday, 12 March 2009.
Picks so far include Suw Charman-Anderson, Aleks Krotoski, Laura Oliver and Joanna Shields.
The winners will be invited to offer a 20 minute presentation that will be held as a charity event to raise money for Macmillans.
Cast your vote or pitch in your tips for who the top female social media experts are this week here, or on Jamie's blog post.
Jamie is also the creator of a social media networking forum for PR professionals called the P2PR network, where a lot of conversations get started.
Making my social media guru picks,
