Comments on: Women Online in 2009: 9 Trends to Watch in a Down Economy http://www.escalatemedia.com/blog/women-online-in-2009-9-trends-to-watch-in-a-down-economy/ Connecting Today's Women Through Online Communities Wed, 09 Sep 2009 19:39:18 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Holly Hamann http://www.escalatemedia.com/blog/women-online-in-2009-9-trends-to-watch-in-a-down-economy/comment-page-1/#comment-157 Holly Hamann Wed, 09 Sep 2009 19:39:18 +0000 http://www.escalatemedia.com/blog/?p=48#comment-157 This was a great article - I wish I'd found it earlier. Great job covering some of the trends with women online and how the economy is helping to drive (or shift) those behaviors. Women are inherently social (on and offline) and I think they will continue to use communities to support their efforts with parenting, relationships, money, health, politics, and more. I think we'll see some very interesting products and services that come out of this increase in community behavior. Women don't just want to be connected online or belong to groups. They want real ways to interact, share, create content, influence and even publish. I'm not convinced current social networks give them what they need to do all that. So something will evolve.

So true, so true. I think given the time and purchase power that women have in the household. In a big way the internet, the mobile, and ipod have democratized technology. I think the above dramatically underestimate article reading and social networking but irrespective will only increase with time. I wish self-reporting was better. You highlight: >>>Health & skin care, groceries & cooking, children’s clothing and educational products are all relatively safe places to be in 2009. Very on point. This plus discounts is the sweet spot for sure. Hope the new year is treating you well! Sorry I missed your comment earlier on my post about social media trends in 2009.

We plan on being around when the playing field is leveled because I believe that we are in the era of the Alpha Woman! Especially when there are 11 single, heterosexual females to every 1 single, heterosexual males and that is just in the White, Asian, Hispanic, etc categories. In the black community the ratio is worse! As more and more women become empowered they will also be more educated, have more discretionary income and will be looking for communities to find friendship, business advice and ways to grow inspite of being single. That doesn't even begin to touch on the Married or Lesbian couples either! Freda Mooncotch www.AlphaWomen.coom Kelly, isn’t that the truth!
