The Feminist Web

by Lauredhel on February 4, 2009

Ever wanted to visualise the feminist blogging Anglosphere with an interactive map and a US-centric focus? Here’s your chance: The Feminist Web, from linkfluence and Fem2pt0. You’ll need the username/password fem2pt0/linkfluence.

Edited: Aus/NZ blogs in there (thanks, commenters, keep them coming!):

Hoyden About Town (you’re standing in it)
In a Strange Land
Blue Milk
Hellon Hairy Legs
She Who Stumbles
Crimitism
Capitalism Bad, Tree Pretty
Hexpletive
Finally, A Feminism 101 Blog
The Hand Mirror

The other non-US blogs include Womanist Musings, Rose’s Place, mirabile dictu, The F-Word, Shut Up Sit Down, and Philobiblon.

You can also see their “top 30″ blogs here, based primarily on link influence. It looks like there are a couple of bugs to work out – they include livejournal as a whole, for example – but an interesting project nevertheless.

1 Deborah February 4, 2009 at 2:32 pm: I got linked on it. See, just over there, where I’m pointing! About 5cm to the left and 3cm down from HaT. Though the display I’m getting is a slightly different size from the one you have posted about. And it’s debatable whether I am an NZ blog, or an Australian one, or one with weird mid-Tasman accent. The Hand Mirror is on there too.

Deborah’s last blog post..It’s not sex, it’s rape
2 Lauredhel February 4, 2009 at 3:03 pm: Fixed, Deborah! It’s hard to search for those who don’t use the country-code TLDs. If you spot any others, please let me know in comments.
3 Deborah February 4, 2009 at 3:25 pm: Blue Milk’s there too, and Hellon Hairy Legs, and She Who Stumbles. But I couldn’t find Helen of Cast Iron Balcony fame, nor Penguin Unearthed, nor The Dawn Chorus.

Best I go and do some housework now…
4 fuckpoliteness February 4, 2009 at 3:38 pm: I can’t get in to have a look…it just keeps asking for the passwords etc even though I enter them. :(

It’s pretty though!
5 Deborah February 4, 2009 at 3:46 pm: Still not doing any housework…

fp, that’s a zero at the end of the user name, not an “o”, and the password is not “link” followed by “influence” – it’s “link” followed by “fluence”, so it’s a clever little audio pun – “linkfluence” (say it out loud).

I can tell you this because I had to do a copy-and-paste from Lauredhel’s post before I could get in, and then I realised what I had been doing…

Sorry if I’m teaching my granny to suck eggs here….

I couldn’t find you, alas. It looks like it’s very much a work-in-progress.

Deborah’s last blog post..Connected!
6 fuckpoliteness February 4, 2009 at 3:58 pm: Ah, the zero got me in!
7 Chally February 4, 2009 at 4:04 pm: There’re also Crimitism, Capitalism Bad; Tree Pretty, Finally Feminism 101 and Hexpletive.

Chally’s last blog post..Fancy that, did you know, FYI
8 bri February 4, 2009 at 5:42 pm: There is also The Dawn Chorus and my blog Fat Lot of Good (which deals with Fat Activism and feminist issues.

9 hysperia February 4, 2009 at 6:05 pm: Thanks for the linky! Cool website too. I notice I can only get on to it from here.

:)
10 clarencegirl February 4, 2009 at 8:20 pm: What no “Australian Women Online”? ;-)
11 Lauredhel February 4, 2009 at 9:20 pm: I’d kinda like this thread to stay positively pro-feminist, without bringing in off-topic snark from old conversations, clarencegirl. Ta.
12 Deborah February 4, 2009 at 9:33 pm: And I should have said before, to the Hoydens – congratulations! It’s great to see you there in the top 30.
13 Lauredhel February 4, 2009 at 9:38 pm: Thanks Deborah *grin*
14 Chally February 4, 2009 at 10:17 pm: Yes, congratulations! And doesn’t the map look gorgeous? I so like those types of things.
15 hysperia February 5, 2009 at 4:04 pm: I’m not sure if this Canadian feminist site is on there but, if not, it should be:

Broadsides

16 Lauredhel February 5, 2009 at 6:02 pm: Bri, I’m using the search function on the Feminist Web page and I’m getting no result for the Dawn Chorus or your blog.
17 blue milk February 5, 2009 at 9:32 pm: Wow, that’s pretty cool.
18 su February 5, 2009 at 11:14 pm: It really is purty. Now if only we can make it spell out some secret feminist message like Fuck off MRA’s or sommat. Sort of the visual equivalent to playing Led Zeppelin backsdarw.
