diversity

Here's a link that might be interesting for people here -- a gender breakdown of user-contributed-content sites. (It actually labels itself as analyzing gender on social networking sites, but I don't think that's accurate -- or at least, I do not myself consider sites like Flickr and YouTube social networking.)

What's interesting is that the majority of user-contributed-content sites are female-majority -- including e.g., Twitter, Ning, Flickr, Facebook. Some of the reasons for that are obvious, and don't apply to us and the work we do. But still, it gives me some hope :-)
