My Blog is Gender Confused

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:

1. We think http://blog.contextures.com is written by a man (82%).
2. We think http://www.contextures.com is written by a man (84%).
3. 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?
