Do You Blog Like A Girl?

Apparently, I do. At least that’s what the fine Melissa Burdon tells me, and she has the research to prove it. Want to haze your co-workers:

I’ll admit, the study lost some credibility with me (it’s not just a parlor trick, the study actually has a pretty robust algorithm behind it) when I first checked it out- I ran the following three posts through it:

“Measuring the Piss-Off Factor”
“Measuring the Piss-Off Factor, Part II”
“Marketing in the In-Between”

You’ll notice the common author, resident Future Now Marketing to Women expert, and all around A#1 lady extraordinaire, Ms. Holly Buchanan. What did the algorithm decide? Male. Okay, so, obviously this isn’t perfect. The results are also more interesting than just for taunting co-workers.

For the record, when Holly finishes scolding me around the office for my male communication style (and don’t think I won’t use this research against her!), she often times moves on to Jeffrey. I ran his famous 7 Strategy Challenges post through the Gender Genie, and have no fear… off the charts Male!

What does the Genie have to say about your favorite bloggers?
