Gender gap alive and well online.

I didn't know that the number of users was now so gender similar. I knew that before there was a gap existing with female users, gladly that has changed. It is interesting in the reasons of usage, male users try to find something new and more interesting to them while female users try to keep up with relationships and connections. More women are using the net now, as they outnumber men in the US. It seems that men and women are both utilitarian in their usage of the net, while men tend to be checking out new technologies, sports information, and joining fantasy sports teams--women tend to use the net for medical research, email, map directions, and religious information.

From personal experience I can say that I do tend to use the net from the male standpoint pretty regularly, but also include much general research into topics of varying degree, medicine, religion, and maps do fall in there undoubtedly, perhaps less in terms of directions. All in all, a good article.
