Why knowing the connection between women, social media, and blogs is important for businesses

There is a definite connection between women, social media, and blogs, but not many businesses are aware of it. Reading articles about how women are dominating the internet is one thing, but knowing how to use what you read to your business’ advantage is another. So what is the connection between the three? — Trust. …

Tech needs more women

Tech needs more women

Most of the gender boundaries in America have been broken down in recent decades as women are now doing more things that used to be male-dominated while men are doing more things that were once female-dominated. The technology world is one arena where there is still a disproportionately lower number of women. It’s changing, but there’s still a ways to go. This graphic shows some interesting facts about women in tech. Click to enlarge. Like this infographic? Get more business technology news from IT Manager Daily….

The softer side of social helps women stay professional: @HybridMom

The softer side of social helps women stay professional: @HybridMom

In the fast moving world of tech (and the faster moving world of social media) finding the happy medium between family and professional life can be a challenge. It is particularly challenging for women at times because of heightened familial expectations mixed with equal professional responsibilities with their male counterparts. As part of our ongoing Life Resources series, we took a long look at HybridMom. The website itself offers tons of material with advice, resources, tips, and experiences that women across the country can share and utilize. It’s not your standard women’s magazine…

Tech Needs More Women

Tech Needs More Women

There, I said it. The tech industry needs more women to get in and make things right again. It’s way too male dominated and it doesn’t have to be. Over half of the professionals in the United States are women. They account for nearly 50% more college degrees than men. With this kind of knowledge, how is it right that less than 20% of the working computer hardware engineers are men? Answer: it isn’t. This graphic by our friends at SocialCast lays the foundation for why the tech world needs more women. Pay attention – we should expect to see this male-dominated industry fall to the females soon enough. …

Facebook's Accidental Misogyny

Now this is an odd bug, if I’ve ever heard of one. Apparently, thousands of female Facebook users have been attempting to log on, only to find their accounts deactivated. Spooky. And this has been going on for a few days, too. Said Facebook user Valerie L to Huffington Post of the bug: “It said my Gmail address was not associated with any Facebook account.” How… suspicious, considering the feud between Google and Facebook of late. “I just tried to get onto my Facebook account with my Gmail email address,” adds Marian B. “[It's] the only one I have used since I got on Facebook …and it said I could not.”…

A New iPhone In China Appears, Aimed For Women?

A New iPhone In China Appears, Aimed For Women?

Nope. While it does have the Apple branding on it, we are certain that this thing is nothing more than a Chinese knock-off that has a cute design. It is supposedly called the “Leady Apple” (maybe Google Translate is having a very bad day), and it looks like a blend between a mirror and phone. But don’t be fooled by the Apple logo and iPhone branding on the back side of this phone. Again, we are sure Apple wouldn’t venture so far out there with a design like this. (We are also sure that every news publication on Earth would have caught wind of this.) What is admirable, however, is the round design and the round…

Geek Chic NOT Aimed At Guys

Geek Chic NOT Aimed At Guys

Geek gadgetry has a new, previously untapped market: Women. For years, technology and geek chic has been the domain of males, typically the kind living in their parents basement with Cheeto stains on their shirts who think that corduroy is the height of fashion, but that’s set to change. Wearable technology is an evolving market in 2010, but increasingly the technology is aimed at both men and women. This dress from Abbey Liebman at Cornell University’s Textiles Nanotech Laboratory shows how a stylish dress can contain ultra-modern geek tech, including a USB charger for phones and iPods, photovoltaic…
