Ada Lovelace Day: Julie Wilson

Ada Lovelace Day is when we celebrate women in technology who inspire us. I am in awe that I made Kate’s list because Kate is truly inspirational to me.

My shout out, since I’ve been negative about the publishing industry, needs to go to Julie Wilson of SeenReading.com who continues to come up with phenomenal ways to capture the attention of book readers.

She’s promoting poets for Poetry Month:
30 in 30 video

She also has a kick-ass google mashup of bookstores across Canada and about a million great ideas for promoting books online.

I love you Julie. Thank you for rocking my world!

Hey Monique,

I’ve been following Julie and her story for a while now, but I’ve never seen this video. I love the little surreptitious look she gives over the shoulder of those people she is catching in the act of reading. Word voyeurism—SO cool!
