Differences in Men and Women Online
from the practicality-vs.-frivolity dept
A new study shows that men and women use the web in different ways. Women tend to be more practical, using the web to get information or perform a specific task, while men are more interested in the entertainment part. This strikes me as a bit odd. Here's another article about the same study that goes into some attempts to create content focused for women surfers.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team

Men and women using the Web
I seem to spend my time checking out sites such as UBUBU.com, gamespot, netsurfer, etc. Nothing concrete just fun and interesting facts or games. If I look at her favorite places compared to mine it certainly shows a different mind set. In fact, there is something that would make a good article. Favorite places-> men and women.
