browsing gender

This program analyzes your browsing history to determine your gender.

From what I can tell, it disregarded the porn sites.

    DP Review. Oh, let’s not start that again. Sorry, folks. This is the way it’s gone all morning.

    I thought that might catch your eye.

    Inflation is a bitch.

    At home I am 99% male but at work I am only 70%.

    Does this mean my work emasculates me?

    I’m 89% male. Apparently visiting any Texas Utility website will bring you towards being female. As well as yellowpages.com .

    Interestingly enough, visiting a Apple rumors site skews you way over to the male side ( over 2.0 ratio ), but visiting apple.com itself skews the other way.

    And I’m not shocked to learn the audiences of Crutchfield.com and Fark.com are decidedly male.

    uh… this site just told me that there was a 97% chance that i am a chick and i’m totally a dude (100%). just to reiterate: i have a penis. i used to clear my cache every time i went to a porn site. now i will have to do it after shopping at macys.com so as to seem as masculine as possible to any browser cache hackers out there.

    Sixty/forty. 60% female. 40% male. Pretty much as I’d have guessed.

  11. Amanda Mae Meyncke on August 7th, 2008 at 12:12 pm

    70% female, 30% male.

    92% female at work, despite spending most of my day on programming-related sites. How feminist of the algorithm!

    80 % male, 20 & nonspecific alien life form…

    yeah - like that’s a surprise.

    86% female…

    big female hits include:
    Retailers (target, sears, blockbuster)
    allrecipes.com
    travel sites (priceline et alia)
    causes (thebreastcancersite.com, theanimalrescuesite.com)

    61% Female
