Technically Incorrect: A study of word-use on Facebook shows that the sexes express themselves in very distinct ways.




Now that it's the world platform for being, Facebook reveals more and more about us.

We reveal ourselves while Facebook prowls and serves us edifying ads and while researchers pour over our data to find out who we really are.


The study looked at 68,228 Facebookers (with their permission). Researchers employed computational linguistic analysis to see what was being said.

It seems that how we think may reflect how we express ourselves in social media. But does someone want to conclude that women often think about their husbands and men rarely think about their wives? I certainly wouldn't.


It's wise not to forget that Facebook is a public forum. This means that people tend to behave as they'd like to be seen by their alleged friends.

It seems that men would like to be seen as macho sports types who swear a lot, win a lot and see women in a particular way.

I hear that sort of attitude can even win you elections.
