Women’s business groups & social networking - are they better than men?
A few weeks ago I was doing a spot of, what could loosely be called, 'research' for the Mowgli Foundation. It's purpose was to find out whether I could engage online with business development organisations based in the Middle East with a view to them becoming partners of the Charity in the long term.
As I worked through the first 12 organisations, seeing if they were on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or Slideshare; and whether they had a blog or if they'd been added to Delicious I was struck by one oddity ... typically they were almost all male in focus and typically they weren't active on the social web either.
