More women in Web 2.0

The race is on. Although as a whole more men surf in Greece than women, the numbers are equal for the younger generation. For the daily Ta Nea, Web 2.0 is the reason: "Although women in Greece use the Internet far less than men, they're making up for lost time at breakneck speed. Among young people under 25 there is now no longer any discrepancy between men and women users. A key role ... is played here by the social media now spreading across the Web. Perhaps for the first time the social side of the Internet is developing faster than its purely technical side. Since women are more socially-minded and extroverted than men, they have ample room for expression, communication and broadening their social commitment in the social media, which is bringing far more women into the Internet than men. And this trend will continue."
