Of course men are mainly in the web2.0 business: - they run mainly a technic business, so the technic themes are more important in the net - they are much more used connecting to new technologies - they need more affirmation ;-) But we girls run more "comunication business", so we can rule the more comunicativ thing ins web2.0. Not the often sexist trailers in youtube - but the blognews like mine! @antje…this is really not true! Of course men are mainly in the web2.0 business:

But not everybody. "So next time you design something or have an idea about a new site, ask a female what she thinks about it and you will get a honest answer which will go a long way in letting you know how successful you will be" thats what my man is doing, and that`s why he`s more succesfull now! But as longe the net is in the hand of men.....look at the top`s of youtube! ;-( Yapp – we`re only in family things in web2.0. But not everybody.

Something interesting happened to me the other day. While I was browsing around the web reading all the great Web 2.0 sites out there, I realized that a majority of these applications cater to men. Not because of the purpose that they serve since they are “made” for all sexes, but being designed, programmed and coded by men there usually isn’t an ounce of female input involved in the product. Now that may be par for the course, but isn’t that a bit strange? [...] [...] In a recent article, he writes about the importance of considering women as a unique audience in designing web content or products. Something interesting happened to me the other day.

And thanks Mani for pointing out the last line ;) Sometimes in life, you end up sounding like a raving feminist for nit-picking, however, in my experience, as soon as a guy experiences 1% of the blockout we get, the reaction is instant and loud... You're completely right, women do come at things from a different angle, which appears to be why our business (with one male, one female) seems to keep us both in line and both adding something quite different. It's not, like you say, about tutus and glitter, but more about our whole approach to viewing the world, business and products. It's not better, it's just vastly different. Thanks again, Nat Thanks for that post.

Because women run the world. Men are suckers for a womans beauty, they see that, and they take advantage. Why wouldn't they ? It's no wonder that in some countries women have many restrictions and men dominate.

You say, "So next time you design something or have an idea about a new site, ask a female what she thinks about it ..." This sentence assumes two things: first, that your reader is male, and second (and worse) that anyone designing something must be male too! I know, I know, you totally didn't mean it that way. But ... You gotta be careful when talking about us, haven't you heard? We're sensitive. ;o) I applaud your efforts to think and write about the other half here, but I feel I must point out that you made a bit of a sexist faux pas at the end there.

Glad to see the fellas jump onboard, but I digress. Two comments about 9rules and myself struck a nerve with me this weekend and it made me realize how much people still don’t get the web. Wait, let me rephrase that, how much geeks and the web elite still don’t get the web. [...] [...] Last week’s Women 2.0 seemed to strike a nerve with a lot of people and most of them were women.
