Women, men use Web differently

Women, men use Web differently | IndyStar.com: "Women now are as likely to use the Internet as men, yet a new study shows gaps remain in what each sex does online.

American men are more likely than women to check the weather, news, sports, political and financial information, the Pew Internet and American Life Project reported last week.
Online women are bigger users of e-mail, and they also are more likely to go online for religious information and support for health or personal problems.
About two-thirds of the 6,403 adults surveyed by Pew during 2005 said they use the Internet. By gender, it was 68 percent of the male respondents, and 66 percent of the female participants -- a statistically insignificant difference. In 2002, by contrast, the gap was slightly larger: 61 percent vs. 57 percent."
