Women Dominate Most Social Networking Sites, Survey Finds
The Pingdom study, which looked social networking sites (like Twitter, Facebook, and MySpace) as well as social news sites (like Digg, Reddit, and Slashdot), found that 84% of the sites (16 out of 19) had more female than male users.
Only three of the 19 sites had more male users:
The social news sites Digg, Reddit and Slashdot have significantly more male users than female. The standout here is Slashdot which takes male geekdom to new heights with 82% male users.
It's probably just my corner of the thing, but I would have expected lj to be more female-tilted.
GO, Allyson, with the benefits having and the Canadian email flirting!
ION, LAistas--We have finally decided to hire a cleaning person once or twice a month. Does anyone know of a good person in The Valley? How does one find a cleaning person anyways? I am loathe to just blindly call an ad on Craig's List for an individual and on the other hand, I hear cleaning services underpay their employees.

I betchya if you broke it down by country, Russian usage is nothing like what we're used to.
Go by personal recommendation, Scrappy. You can find someone who's bonded and reliable. I prefer the independent contractor to the Big Corporate Cleaning Services, who tend to underpay their employees.
That's a gorgeous couch, Steph, now I have couch envy. Will the fabric stand up to cats?
Fortunately, the cats don't use the furniture as a scratching post. It's a tight-weave microfiber that acts and feels like bomber-jacket leather, so fur will practically fall off the couch, which was almost my #1 qualification for New Place To Park My Ass.
It's squooshy yet firm, has 3 cushions (The Boy hates couches with 2, b/c that makes it hard for him to sit in the middle if I'm on an end), and the back cushions have lumbar support BIG TIME, which was unexpected.
It was meant to be. Couch fate.
Also -- Allyson! FWB FTW! And Canadian Boy -- you'll never know if you don't give it a shot, so yay!
Do you think it would stand up to three big dogs?
Scrappy, my neighborhood has a yahoo group where that ype of thing is often discussed and people are recommended. The neighborhood thing is focused on familes (neghborhoodnamefamiles is it's name), so you might look on yahoo or google groups to see if there is something like that.
