Women’s Online Video Preferences Are Tamer Than Men’s

This article talks about how according to a recent study of online habits, women prefer mainstream video online while men tend to prefer user-generated video. At least in my house, that is exactly right. On most nights, once the kiddos are in bed, Meg and I can be found in the front room of our house. She is watching something on the TV like “The Apprentice” while I am watching The Totally Rad Show on my iPod.

I find that more and more I find the TV less interesting. I would rather find shows that have a laser focus on my interests rather than hearing for the 27th time the Britney is in the hospital….sick o’ dat. In fact, other than some live events that I can’t miss, I could probably get rid of cable all together.
