  • Gmail Users are Young, Female; AOL Users are Older – Social media data company Rapleaf has just completed a comprehensive study involving the demographics and behavior of webmail users. In the first part of their study, they looked specifically at age and gender data and revealed some interesting findings. For example, did you know that Gmail has more female users than male? And that Hotmail is the other way around? Meanwhile, AOL users are older…but maybe not as old as you think.

  • The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan: Murdoch and Sirius [and Howard Stern] – Says a reader: How did he go from a must-hear personality who was constantly in the news for his antics or his outrageousness to a "whatever happened to?" has been? Simply, he was put behind a pay wall. Oprah has her own channel, but I've never heard it mentioned. If the King of All Media and a woman who has enough influence to swing a national election can't get people to pay, why on earth does Murdoch think he can?

This post embargoed until 12/21/2008 00:00

I had written previously on automobile manufacturer embargoes and print versus online media in Metafilter some time ago.  Challenging embargoes is becoming relavent again, as Chrysler – and particularly Chrysler PR man Rick Deneau – snubs the autoblogs, who then post the ‘embargoed’ material [see Jalopnik and Autoblog] received from ‘informants’ in attendance.  As print is ‘in its last throes’, some techblogs are also throwing down the gauntlet, with Mike Arrington at Techcrunch declaring that all embagoes will be broken with impunity.

Daily Links for December 17th

  • UCrime – University Crime – Largest University crime map mashup, covering over 200 universities.
  • Death To The Embargo – We’ve never broken an embargo at TechCrunch. Not once. Today that ends. From now our new policy is to break every embargo. We’ll happily agree to whatever you ask of us, and then we’ll just do whatever we feel like right after that. We may break an embargo by one minute or three days. We’ll choose at random.
