Interviewing Influential Women for Technorati's State of the Blogosphere

For the last two weeks, I've been interviewing some of the most influential women in social media as part of Technorati's 2010 State of the Blogosphere Report. This was my first project as part of my role as a Technorati editor.

I set up a makeshift studio in a corner of my kitchen, gave strict instructions to the kids to not interrupt, and had fascinating conversations with women who have inspired me and been role models ever since I started this blog three years ago.

I spoke with:

• Jaden Hair of Steamy Kitchen, 
• Lisa Stone, co-founder and CEO of BlogHer, Inc.
• Barbara Jones of One2One Network and Blissdom, and 
• Liz Gumbinner of Mom-101 and Cool Mom Picks.

Head on over to Technorati to see other interviews as well as insights and trends drawn from the results of this year's State of the Blogosphere report. The following are the interviews I conducted:

Lisa Stone,  
BlogHer, Inc. Co-Founder and CEO



Liz Gumbinner,  
Mom-101 and Cool Mom Picks


Jaden Hair - 
Steamy Kitchen




Barbara Jones, 
Founder of the One2One Network and co-founder of Blissdom Events
Excerpt: "I see Twitter and Facebook as two very different applications. Facebook is like a backyard barbecue, mostly friends and family. I see Twitter as a cocktail party where you have the ability to pop in and out of conversations and make relationships."

Barbara's Interview had some technical difficulties and is available as a transcript on Technorati instead of a video.
