- brandizzle, on 10/12/2007, -1/+34Psh. I have a REAL vagina (attached to me), thanks much.
- saska, on 10/12/2007, -0/+326% laying low to avoid requests for genital photography.
- exoendo, on 10/12/2007, -4/+33I am 21. Male. Earning a degree in political science. I dont' keep a blog cause blogs are dumb, though i'll probably become a hypocrite soon enough and start one against my better judgement. Basically I am a kid with too much time on my hands. I think that's what most active diggers are like :)
- spectre, on 10/12/2007, -4/+31I don't suppose we could get a screenshot?
For verification purposes only, of course. - penguinix, on 10/12/2007, -2/+24What a charming picture of Kevin on that site. He looks completley clueless.
- elnerdo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+21You're 6% female?
- Obsidian743, on 10/12/2007, -2/+16We all know 18-39 really means 13-22 and $75k+ means ~$24k+. There are too many ignorant, illiterate mother-***** on this site for those to be true.
- Obsidian743, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13Uhh, raise your hand if you clicked on that link.
Come on, you know you did! - DisposableRob, on 10/12/2007, -4/+15Or high.
- timbudtwo, on 10/12/2007, -5/+16OMG Girlz Don’t Exist on teh Intarweb!!!!1
- jmholloway, on 10/12/2007, -3/+13I am a girl!! *waves* Im 19 years old, and getting a degree in information science and human computer interaction design at Cornell. And I love video games... ;-)
- gringuitica, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10I love Digg, but I'm also a chick that makes nowhere near $75k and I'm not in IT or Tech. I do blog, however... w/e.
- saska, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10Congratulations, digitallysick - you've managed to encapsulate, in one sentence, why more women don't bother participating.
There are fewer females (they are not "less" female, unless you mean to suggest I am somehow less female for working in the tech field and reading news about it) because there are fewer women in the IT industry. But those numbers are growing.
Chauvenistic ignorance from men keeps most of us technologically-inclined women out of the discussion ring, though. We don't have the time or patience for it. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9We're all clones. Living in the matrix. Fed canned stimuli.
- yummyfbunny, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9@Obsidian743
"noh their jus dum as fuk"
You can't even spell right, buddy. Poor you. - merreborn, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9http://pinkstuffandponiesandflowers.com

sup? - DisposableRob, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6There was a survey awhile back that got buried for being an ad. It was pretty funny as it's likely Kevin Rose's only buried submission.
- Hindu_Wardrobe, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Yeah we do.
- kbarrett, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6@merreborn
WooHoo! Awesome link. That's the best site ever. That's exaclty why I come to digg...for all the frilly, pretty links.
I can't believe there aren't more women here. I'm heading over to iVillage. - ikickass, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6follow the link in the footer of digg to the advertising company
- jesusphreak, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7> 18-39 * 64%
So I take it the other 36% are 13-14? - shadekeiko, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Is this supposed to be surprising? :D
Although...I'm female, 16, don't have a job, and probably won't end up being an engineer anyway. Although i do have a blog. - glucoseboy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Uhh, where did these numbers come from? Did anyone poll us?
- karch, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Obsidian, YOU are right. And it's even more of a vicious cycle since men prefer girly women than smart, intimidating, nonsubmissive girls.
- Gatesophile, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5I'm 16, female, into making websites (when I am not lazy) and learning about all things computer related!
Geeky guys are sexy. :D - cyclotron, on 10/12/2007, -0/+388% 18-39 *
Gee, wide enough range. I want to see how many under 21, how many 21-25, how many 26-30, 31-35... This large of a window doesnt really say anything. - MrViklund, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3How do they know?
- leonbev, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Yeah, they probably get that information from online surveys promising a gift or a chance to win something. How many people fill out that information honestly? Not many... they just want the gift at the end.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -7/+10he IS clueless
- DisposableRob, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Found it.
http://digg.com/tech_news/Ads_on_Digg_(help_support_digg) - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I would say 13-24 would hit 99% of all comments.
- TheKillDoctor, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2You've heard of a couch potato?
I'm a Digg Potato
(and I do have enough sense to leave my own basement) - Gatesophile, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2for the record, 16, female, into computers and video games.
and geeky guys are sexy. :D - Celeron, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2*Slowly raises hand*
- Wiggles2, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Does anyone else think the front page moves much faster now? (i.e. more front page stories )
- Obsidian743, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2And that's why these statistics are meaningless without information on how they were gathered.
- tony4moroney, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2clearly he was being sarcastic.
- jtrost, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2That's what I was thinking. I don't ever recall a demographic survey.
- MalTheObscure, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3It's interesting to see these statistics. I'm in the elementary education field, and I've recently been asked to put together a project for the local Boys and Girls Club that will encourage girls to make more use of the computer lab they have there. I've been reading about the subject recently, and although male and female students do comparably well in science courses, females are much less likely to pursue science when given the choice. I don't understand why girls don't show much of an interest in science and technology, I've always loved it. (But the Paris Hilton comment is way harsh)
- frielander, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Actually, she is pretty hot, especially for being so into tech.
- Lemon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1There's one Digg statistic I've always wondered about... What percentage of front page diggs have the first comment modded down to -4 or lower? I'm guessing about 80%
- wilf_brim, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Ha, I'm officially old. I'm actually a bit surprised at the household income. Almost two thirds report income of 72k or over. Pretty impressive stat: lots of folks here who like tech and have the l3wt to buy it.
And, judging by the comments, this thread has now made a record for the number of comments by women, and probably represents a significant fraction of the female digg readership. - macewan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+139/M/WFT
- elfhat, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I'm 21, female, majoring in electrical engineering, and interested in computers, video games and programming.
- supergeorgina, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Female, 20, writer/artist/lovevidegames. Also probably really weird, I just realized, for having Digg as one of my daily visit sites.
- Hindu_Wardrobe, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I'm 14, female, into C++, Linux, video games, and all that other geeky stuff.
I say there should be more geeks in the world. Come on, geek-girls, you've got to agree with me, geeky guys are hot! - mjenkins, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"94% male? Is this just the way it is -- women just aren't interested in technology?"
I don't know about that...I fit all the statistics in that page except for the gender
38yo Female IT Executive, got my own blog for my travelogue and I make a very nice income...
I also create websites for fun (Webby-award nominee a few years back), guild leader in DAOC, CoH and WoW, and I spend just as much money on technology/gadgets as I do on jewelry and manicures.
Oh, and I'm newly single....party time! - SUNderhaus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1*Raises hand*
