My first thought was it isn't so much about gender as it is about personality types. But then I realized we only have to look at all the big name internet marketers and seminar speakers, for example, and it sure seems awfully crowded with guys!! My impression is men use the internet in general for strategic business building... and women use the internet, particularly social networking, to build deeper relationships.

I think you are correct Women do use social media more as a community that connects us deeper. We network, celebrate the good, reach out to help and offer compassionate support when needed. In the good communities anyways. Just as in the offline world there are bound to be both good and not so good. Too bad I don't sell yarn! Yes, great post Amy!

You might not know it, but I see a lot of sock knitting happening at conferences; I knit a podcamp hat that was more like a tea cozy; it's the secret life that I call Amish Fantasy camp- Tech whiz by day. luddites by night- it's the only way to explain my knitting and making home made raspberry jam to others.

Do you think women have more of an interest in going deep with online relationships? And holy cow that's a lot of people in line ahead of you for that yarn! : ) Or holy alpaca? Very great post, Amy. And good luck on Tuesday! Do you think women have different conversations online than me? Do you think women have more of an interest in going deep with online relationships?
