Gender gap plagues Arab online growth: report (AFP)
Gender gap plagues Arab online growth: report (AFP)02/19/2004 03:38 PM AFP - Fewer than a quarter of viewers of general portal websites in
the Middle East are women, the Arab Advisors Group found in a study,
linking the phenomenon to poor advertising revenues.
In preparation for the International
Computer Music Conference to be held in Barcelona in September
2005, the Music Technology
Group and the Universitat Pompeu
Fabra, have created the freesoundproject.
The freesound project is a collaborative database of sounds - not
songs or compositions - but sounds: audio snippets, samples,
recordings, bleeps. All sounds uploaded to the site must be licensed
under the Creative
Commons Sampling Plus license. The site has already collected a
range of diverse sounds - from instrumental pieces to balloon sounds -
and offers sample packs, remixes and groovy waveform images of the
sounds. A great example of building out the creative commons!

Gender Genie12/30/2003 01:26 AM Interesting... This neat little program claims it
can guess the author's sex by the distribution of words in text. At
least it guessed my sex correctly, but it did make the grave mistake
of thinking that one of the people on my blogroll (right) is a male,
even though I'm pretty sure she's a lady :).

"I feel like I'm at a Microsoft monastery here," wrote Rory Blyth from
the most recent Professional Developers Conference. "I think I've seen
about 2.5 females ... it's like they're an endangered species." The
observation holds equally true for open source conferences.

This column touches on two third-rail issues: personality and gender.
The Wired
article on Asperger's syndrome cited in the column was incorrectly
dated, by the way. My error: it was of course published in 2001, not
1991. That slipped past me and my editors, but my friend Larry Welkowitz, a
psychologist and AS specialist, caught it.

Falling in Love -- a Gender-Bending Experience (Reuters)
Not in Spain04/21/2004 07:45 PM So, apparently, there's a band... from America... named Barcelona.
They're no longer together, but when they were crankin' out the tunes,
they recorded "I Have The Password To Your Shell Account." Wow. That's
pretty darn geeky. Their style totally reminds me of another
semi-favorite of mine, FreezePop. Props to a new friend, Scott, for
pointing the way. Actually, I don't know if I can call him a friend
yet, but I'm totally in love with his Special Edition LP set of The
Nightmare Before Christmas soundtrack. He must trust me, as he lent me
one of his Barcelona CDs. Or did he? Because, to my knowledge, Lent is

Blogs Coming of Age in Spain01/08/2004 07:47 PM In today's Wired News, a story I filed about growth in
Spain's blogosphere -- after a trip there in which I met and spoke
with bloggers, geeks, digital artists, and journalists. Recent events
in 2003 such as the Prestige oil spill and the war in Iraq war sparked
growth and a new sense of significance for weblog culture throughout
the country.
According to journalist Jose
Cervera, director of the online edition of Spanish newspaper 20 Minutos (which gained
attention last year for being the first newspaper released under a
copyle
ft license), the strongest weblog growth indicator of all in Spain
may be the proliferation of flame wars.
"In 2003, thousands of new blogs launched in Spain, and at least as
many flame wars broke out in discussion boards on those sites," says
Cervera. "That's not polite, but in aggregate it's actually a good
sign."
Cervera sees other good signs for Spain's bloggers. "The traditional
press in Spain, as in other parts of the world, is in a deep economic
crisis," says Cervera. "By their own numbers, they have more readers
than ever before, but they're in bad fiscal shape. But this year, the
combination of Internet growth in general and their own internal
crisis will make blogs a very, very important part of the mediascape
here. This is the year that blogs become a household word in Spain."

promise, Prime Minister
Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero's socialist government is on the
verge of making Spain only the third country in Europe to legalize
same sex marriages after the Netherlands and Belgium. This and other
progressive legislation has led angry bishops of the
Spanish Church and other religious
groups to start a campaign against Zapatero's “social
revolution†that is converting Spain into one of the most liberal
countries in all of Europe. [more inside]
