In case you've been living under a rock, it may come as some surprise that there's a whole lotta shaking going on over at TechCrunch the past week.
The tech industry giant may be parting ways from their founder, Michael Arrington, due to some shady business over a finance group called CrunchFund and TechCrunch owner AOL.
Despite all the blustering, this week's TechCrunch Disrupt is under way. In honor of the possible demise of the blog's editorial integrity I thought I'd share the train wreck that was the Women In Tech panel from last year's TechCrunch Disrupt.
If you think it's going to be all rainbows and butterflies, think again. These ladies have a wide range of opinions about the roles of women in tech, where to go from here, and what the actual issue is.
The entire discussion with nice clear audio is available here.
There's also a fabulous commentary on the panel and a transcript of the event here from panelist Rachel Sklar founder of Change The Ratio and journalist at large with her finger in many Huffington Post pies.
I think this panel was a huge disapointment, but it was one of the first times TC even tried shedding some well deserved light on the issue of women's representation in the technology field.
What do you think?
