On Twitter today, someone mentioned www.genderanalyzer.com, and reported that it guessed her blog was likely written by a man (59%).
So, I decided to test my website and blogs, to see how they’d be assessed. Here’s the description of how the analyzer works:
It uses Artificial Intelligence to determine if a homepage is written by a man or woman. Behind the scene, a text classifier hosted over at uClassify.com has been trained on 11000 blogs written by men and women.
I figured that the Excel sites would lean to the male side, because of the technical material. Probably more men than women are blogging about computer stuff.
And I was right – here are the scores:
- We think http://blog.contextures.com is written by a man (82%).
- We think http://www.contextures.com is written by a man (84%).
- We think http://www.pivot-table.com is written by a man (84%).
It’s interesting that my Contextures website is slightly more manly than my Contextures blog. 
This blog though, is gender neutral, despite having a female name.
- We guess http://debradalgleish.com/blog/ is written by a man (55%), however it’s quite gender neutral.
So – how does your blog/website rate?

You need a new ghost writer.
My blog came up 84% written by a man.
Well done! Your ghost writers are obviously doing a much better job than mine.
Hmm… 70% male. I’m not sure what to make of that…
Geez, Ken, your blog is less manly than mine.
I’m trying to make it an equal opportunity thing… yeah… that’s it!
Ah, that’s very noble of you.
