the paper below looks at age and gender distributions of blog useage and content worldwide. Apparently, women's blogs tend to favour personal issues and men's blogs political and other impersonal issues. men's blogs tend to use words like "democracy" "sport" and "india" whereas women's blogs tend to use words like "yummy" and "gosh".
Their overall conclusion is that:
"Male bloggers of all ages write more about politics, technology and money than do their female cohorts. Female bloggers discuss their personal lives – and use more personal writing style – much more than males do."

This conclusion has to win the Nobel Prize for the bleeding obvious/not very interesting.
