Browsing for gender

by | Wednesday, August 06, 2008

Just found out about this rather nifty tool that looks at your browser history and estimates your gender. My personal results were as follows:

Likelihood of you being FEMALE is 24%
Likelihood of you being MALE is 76%

    Interesting,
    I clear Firefox’s private data every time I quit the app to cut down on data mining my browser by sites and to stop the leaching of my private information for others gain (here’s looking at you Google!). So, I happened to go straight to this site to get some info on TPACK for a project, saw this post and decided to see what would gender I’d be only having visited punyamishra.com & of course the prediction site. It predicted:

    Likelihood of you being FEMALE is 50%
    Likelihood of you being MALE is 50%

    Does that mean your site is gender neutral?
