He said, She said
Following the BlogHer conference a few weekends ago, there has been some interesting discussion regarding gender and blogging. Susan Getgood smartly presented it to a younger group of PR folks by posting about it at Marcom Blog. Unfortunately, I think this is that quiet spell between semesters for the students … but I am, like Susan, really intrigued to capture a younger perspective on this issue. From Susan’s post at Marcom:
Anyway, following BlogHer last month in San Jose, Neville Hobson raised the question of whether gender matters when reading a blog. He said no, he picks blogs based on content, not gender. Conversation ensued on his blog, and then I took it over to mine, mostly because the comment had grown to “post-size.” I won’t recap the whole thing here, because there are A LOT of comments on both posts, but I think it would be very interesting to hear the perspective of the “younger set” on this topic.
So yeah — I’m with Susan. What do we think?
