Hm. From Hunch.com

Victoria Hughes
Interesting study (over 450,000 people) categorizing email domain  
users. Full of tidbits like 77% of .gmail users have traveled to at  
least 5 other countries: and prefer salty over sweet snacks. Yahoo  
users are 48% more likely to consider themselves 'spiritual' than  
'religious'.

I am sure this post's fascination is purely about optimizing business  
demographics....

1) I couldnt find the relative %ages of gmail users to AOL to Yahoomail etc.

2) I couldnt find figures for the "age" of the accounts surveyed.
(For eg I could hypothesise that AOLmail is so bad that only their fat lazy woman subscribers havent moved on to other (better) providers.)

Hi

1) Actually, I was referring to the age of the email account, (and not the age of the account subscribers).

2) Wrt "my" sexist (apology due) remark on AOL users, in my defence I was zeroing in on the sexist comment/analysis  in the article itself

"AOL users are most likely to be overweight women ages 35-64 who ...prefer sweet snacks"
