digitytöt Here in the Northern Europe many hard core Web 2.0 developers and entreprneurs follow religiously Diggnation, the famous video show by Kevin Rose (of Digg.com fame and a famous Silicon Valley party kid) and Alex Albrecht.

Now, we're getting our own except that it's pink and pretty. Helene Auramo, CEO of Zipipop, and her friend Sanna are Digitytöt (tranlates into Digitalgirls from Finnish). Auramo is a long time fan of Kevin Rose and have been working on the project for some time now with her new team during the weekends, while running Zipipop during the week.

The show is now in closed Beta and we heard will open up for the greater public next Monday (The shows are in Finnish). It's going to be lots of pink, giggling, partying and some interviews with the local start-up stars. Before the launch you can find some episodes from Facebook. We can't wait to see more of this pinkness!

And not only in Finland, over at Sweden the girls in technology scene are making waves with Geek Girl Meetup. Go girls!
