It's true that women in their 30s are social media power users, but what are they talking about online? A new study from Proust has identified the seven things women like to talk about the most online. Curious? Click through the gallery to find out more. Read more
Can gadgets ever be decidedly female or male? While we've seen companies design technology specifically for women, we haven't heard too much about a gadget being more popular with one gender over the other. A new survey from Nielsen shows females are the predominant owners of ereaders while men own more tablets. Women make up 61 percent of ereader users and only 43 percent of the tablet users. Read more
A recent study from Mashwork shows that women use Netflix more than Hulu Plus. According to the study, 48 percent of female respondents use Netflix, while only 24 percent use Hulu Plus. Though there are pros and cons of each (including catalogues, commercials, and quality) both services truly allow TV and movie fans to save a few bucks on a cable subscription since you can get your favorite shows Read more
I don't necessarily consider myself a feminist, but I know a sexist product when I see one. Remember the Slide to Unlock tee or the stripper pole Wii game? Yeah, those were awesome. So when I heard about Pepsi's Amp Up Before You Score App that hit iTunes this week, I had to chuckle. I knew it was only a matter of time before the backlash hit — and oh, the backlash did in fact, hit. The app, Read more
Do women have different cell phone needs? Maybe. We may have different cell phone wants, certainly, but I think that's more personality than gender based. But that hasn't stopped a few handset makers from trying their hand at what women really want. Check them out and let me know if they hit the mark. Read more
Congrats ladies, it looks like we geeks are spreading the gospel of the chicness of our proclivities — there's even a book preaching it to other girls not yet versed in the ways. And for an extra ego boost, you've got to hear "Coder Girls," a jam in which the admiring man raps "Wanna get in where I fit in like a plug-in." It'll be your Summer jam, for sure. Read more
I'm a Mac, but mommy taught me it takes all shapes, sizes and kinds to make the world. And so, I welcome the operating system variety in the marketplace and gawk at all the different models on TV and movie sets. I've already challenged you to guessing which way some of our favorite male characters swing, so now it's time to test your knowledge of the type of machinery our beloved geek girls rock. Read more
It's official. Not content to do just everything, the iPhone now has the capability to be some nerd's girlfriend. The iGirl App, with the tagline of "She Obeys," is just $0.99 — and cheap doesn't just describe the price! You can make her dance, tickle her, change her hair color, language, ethnicity, touch her (ugh, OK, I have to break my sarcasm schtick for moment to inject a big, fat "GROSS" Read more
Though I'm grateful for sites like Month.ly and other female-friendly apps, PMS Buddy is not going to be hailed as the newest web app to revolutionize women's lives. See, it's not intended for women, it's intended for the men who have to "put up" with them at "that time of the month." Here's the site's own description: "PMSBuddy.com is a free service created with a single goal in mind: to keep Read more
We must be doing something right, ladies, because a new study shows that there are more young girls using computers than young boys. Much like the study from over a year ago that revealed more women online than men, it showed that not only are more girls using computers, but their mothers are providing more assistance than fathers. New technology in the household looks like it's the provenance Read more
