Pan back a bit and you could say at the macro level, 1950s advertising was a male-oriented bragging medium while 2010s social media is a female-intuitive conversation, nurturing and listening medium. This could mean that acquisition (hunting) was more important in a capitalist society that had just begun producing massive amounts of consumers goods after World War II (hey, what's that -- a TV set!), and now socializing (gathering) is more important in a mature society where most U.S. consumers already own three televisions. What I take away (to sound totally sexist) is the innate communication skills of women are a better fit for today's world than those of men. If so, the ad industry -- still dominated by men -- and the tech industry -- ditto -- had better start hiring more diverse managers and giving them leadership opportunities. We're out of sync with society. Good insights.

I appreciate the differences indeed, and see it much the same way Dream in Data has described. Men can think longer and stronger in one area while women have intuition as they can cross the hemispheres more readily getting a better panoramic view. Together of course it gets even better. Having fresh insight on panels, in discussions and with people directly involved in media will make our understanding of how to use the new platforms available to us more effective. This entails taking chances, and also opening up the spectrum to new platforms as well. My area of expertise is the 3D virtual world one. I am one fo the two administrators for Women in Machinima on Facebook, and an award winning video producer using the graphical platform which is Second Life. Yes I do feel that virtual worlds, Avatar based, easy to communicate upon and even more importantly to build community upon for products, services, charities, and brands are important. I invite you to be a part of it and welcome the opportunity to show you first hand how it can aid customer integration and social media value.
