What our dear friend Bite wants to know is: what ratio of followers we have to followed (not male followers versus female followers.)
He is a professional, you know, and so these things matter.
Anyhoo:
My ratio of followed to followers is 1:3.
Oh! yes, yes. of course. . ratio is 1:1 for me
After several conversations on the topic, I am really curious about this question:What is the ratio following to followers by gender?
please reblog or email me your answer. You don’t have to disclose your actual number of followers, just a simple male/female/trans and the ratio of following over followers and the number of months you’ve been on tumblr. My guess is women will have a ratio of 0.75 and men will be closer to 1.8. If I get enough of a sample I’ll post the results in a couple of days.
unless marco has this data and can just answer it easily??
Male 39%, female 61%.
Male 66%, female 33%. (can’t really tell the gender on one?)
What’s the deal with these shoes? Are they really supposed to be better for you than regular sneakers with built-in support?
Ahhh! scary… there are also those “get in shape” flip flops with ads in the subway.

P. Diddy concert, Miami 2006This and below, images from photographer James Mollison who photographed devoted fans at rock concerts everywhere: the show is on until August 16 at Hasted Hunt Gallery. So. Going.
Looks like a great show. When people attend a concert, they definitely subscribe to the image of that band in what they wear, lending the opportunity to exhibit a cross-section of culture. I like the presentation of it.
Design Life Now: National Design Triennial 2006: Natalie Jeremijenko
Just saw something that reminded me of this project… really great, simple and innovative idea - transforming toy dogs into toxin search machines. “Whereas most consumer robots are designed to dance, yap, or vacuum the rug, the Feral Robotic Dogs are equipped with a social agenda.”
The project is also exploits the commercial marketplace in a positive + productive way. “Why reverse-engineer a commercial toy? Jeremijenko’s “open-source” tactics aim to exploit the distribution power of the corporate toymakers, whose economy of scale makes these digital dogs an inexpensive way to get a sophisticated robotics platform into the hands of kids. Her project also helps kids recognize the consequences of consumer choices and imagine toys and technologies with a different purpose. As she explains, “Robotic toys embody a particular view of learning and entertainment. Are we equipping our children to address the technological future, or are we simply training them to push buttons in predetermined, pre-scripted interactions?” “
