Spot on!

Also with regard to the offline world: Women spend more (sometimes, of our caveman-money (c;). They have longer check lists. They decide what is bought, yet need longer for the decision. Welcome to an afternoon at IKEA with my wife…! XD

fascinating discussion, Theo.

if most online content is male-constructed, does this mean that they have control? why does it matter who shares something, if that something is still gender-biased? or is the content that these creator-males make not gender-biased?

i also think it is doing women a dis-service to suggest that things need to be simpler in order for their contribution to increase — in school my female colleagues know as much or more than the men about the various softwares we use. In fact the divide between expert and novice is related to time spent using the software, not gender.

[...] I’m doing by listening to a podcast of a session I just did with the inestimable Lisa Witter. The Daily Gumboot did a nice write-up of our “She Spot” [...]

Lammer. Amazing.

Who is your favourite women-in-social-media? The Sauder School of Business is delivering a Women in Business series to our graduate students, and it would be great to bring in a storyteller or two from the world of social media. My question to you is this: in Canada, women are grossly underrepresented in leadership positions (women make up 65% of university graduates and less than 1% of university presidents and about 1.5% of Canadian CEOs are female) – how will women’s role in the realm of social media change such unfortunate statistics?

Also, I just learned today that 80% of Canada’s Olympic Medals are from women. So, well done with that, too.

Theo – Love the “Outer Limits” comparison… You’re right… it is the tip of the ice berg and I hope people will not suffer from gender blindness in their marketing analysis because if we connect with women in the right way the world is better for everyone (men, of course, included – as a mother of two young boys I care A LOT about that). Thanks Theo.

Great article Theo! I think it’s an interesting analysis of women online.

Life is indeed a community (powered by Google?), as illustrated by me finding this excellent blog post.

See you online- and yes, more women need to create!
