The linked article does not seem to say how these numbers were calculated, and I don't have $695.00 of spare spending cash with which to purchase the full report. There is considerable truth to one of the old jokes about the Net: this is where the men are men, the women are men, and the little girls are FBI agents. Certainly women are gaining market share on the Web; there's no doubt in my mind about the truth of that. Still, I'm not so sure about the specific numbers being claimed here, especially without any information on the methodology used in the study. 137327@blogcritics.org Thu, 7 Apr 2005 14:04:07 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/04/07/111129.php#comment-137255 Actually, it's not surprising at all if you consider that in many families, the woman is also the administrator-in-chief. The number of things you can do online these days (shop, mind the bank accounts, pay the bills, make those vacation plans, and on and on) is quite large, and if you can get most of your chores done online whenever it suits you, well, it simplifies life. 137255@blogcritics.org Thu, 7 Apr 2005 11:41:06 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/04/07/111129.php#comment-137253 More power to 'em, I say!
