According to Fast Company these are the most influential women in Web 2.0. From left to right: Leah Culver (Pownce), Rashmi Sinha (Slideshare), Dina Kaplin (blip.tv), Marissa Mayer (Google), Cyan Banister (Zivity), Lisa Stone, Jory Des Jardins, and Elisa Camahort Page (BlogHer), Caterina Fake (Flickr), Gina Bianchini (Ning), Kaliya Hamlin (OpenID), Mena Trott (Six Apart) and Arianna Huffington (The Huffington Post).
The article is definitely worth reading and explains “What she’s done”, “How she got there” and “What to learn from her” for every woman on the list. It is hard to measure influence of course but there is no doubt these are the 13 most ‘famous’ female online entrepreneurs.
Who do you think is worth their title most? Who is REALLY the most influential? Let us know:

It’s got to be Marissa Mayer but then again Huffington does have considerable weight. I’ve got a big crush on Sarah Lacy though – but she’s not on there and i’m not quite sure why i brought that up.
It’s good to see that women are powerful without showing any tits
Feel free to drop more names of other influential online women they missed!
I would like to nominate Penny Herscher CEO and YY LEE COO of FirstRain Inc. Penny and YY are a dynamic duo who put action into motion. They are successful, well educated and proven leaders in their space.
